MM2H - Making My Second Home

On the forth day, after our breakfast/brunch at my sibling's place in Sg. Buloh, we packed up again to continue on with our journey down south.  Need to stuff up our stomachs, expecting our drive to be a very LONG one since it was a Sunday....
 Bought-from-Ipoh dry wanton noodles....
And prepared by my sister-in-law...
Stuffed us up before we continued on with our trip...
 Eating up the leftovers as well... 
And soon we were on our way.... 
Our car stuffed to the fullest again!
And it was a slow drive to Johor...
Some drivers were holding up the traffic on the highway...
Cos they slowed down to have a good view on the few car accidents along the way....
As usual.. this is kind of expected...
After a few long hours, we finally reached our destination!
So good to be Home at last....
Great to be Home ...
A Different Place....
But still a Home...
A Home where our hearts are...

    I didn't know your siblings live in Sg Buloh. I always thought you sneaked to Small Kucing's house. LOL
    The traffic jams seemed lesser this year with the Waze being the great help to most drivers now.

    Wishing you and family a very Happy & Prosperous Chinese New Year!

    I hate the long drive with jam but what to do right? You get to see many things along the way. Welcome home, Claire.

    Huh? I didn't see this coming! You moving in with your sons after retiring? I think you will be fine in terms of food, JB quite similar with KL/Ipoh.. If you love wantan mee, you can try Ah Piaw Wantan Mee near KSL mall, although they only open from 10PM - 10AM XD

    Such a beautiful couch with all the colorful cushions. The first dish looks like Lo Mein, one of my favorites. You look like a beautiful spring flower today in that outfit.

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....
