Eastern & Oriental Hotel In Penang

Andy went out to celebrate with his friends... he has not seen them for a long time and he sure wants to make full use of the time to catch up....So... where shall I go with Aaron?  We too wanted to celebrate in our own way!  hahahaa.... 

Not wanting to be left out, both of us made a reservation with E&O Hotel at Lebuh Farquhar, Penang... Both of us had never been there and this was quite exciting for us... We reached the hotel around 7pm and before we adjourned to the Sarkies Corner for buffet, we walked around the vicinity of the hotel.....
From the parking lot on the second floor, it looks so "caribbean".....
Then the real thing.....
We walked for some distance .... 
(To lose some calories!)
I'm glad I was wearing something "loose" that evening... 
hahahaa....
The British Colonial Style....
I like this jetty......
I wonder how much is per room per night.....
This was taken when we left the buffet corner to take a "breather"....
Very Victorian styled....
Wow... we took many pictures actually.....
Cos we don't know when we would be back here again!
Beautiful ambience...
 Love this sight during the twilight.....

    You made the right choice for your celebration. Very romantic place. Can imagine the lovebirds in the love storybooks holding hands....walking along the beach and the garden...... under the moonlit sky..... listening to the lapping of the waves........

    Nice hotel with beautiful scenery. Last pix, looks like it reaches out to the sea. Sure it's a nice buffet dinner with mother & son bonding time.

    The hotel's surroundings sure look beautiful. Can see you have a great time bonding with your elder son. Will the next post be about the food at the buffet dinner?

    The pictures of you and Aaron are my favorite. But next I love the black silhouettes of the palm trees with the pale blue background, so beautiful! We do not have palm trees, they will not grow in this climate. They are in Florida and California though.

    Hmm, I have never been there for dinner, but a few times for lunch buffet. Maybe go too many times, I don't feel it is nice anymore, I prefer Straights Quay nowadays, because of the boats :D

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
