From San Francisco, Hongkong, Kuala Lumpur To Ipoh

THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO BADE FAREWELL TO MY TWO MONTHS VACATION...  Yes, it is exactly 60 days since I last landed in San Francisco airport, my flight ticket was quite cheap then, only around RM3700 economy class with limited space to put my legs... *wish I could spend more money in first class next time but I know I won't* hahahaha... Really... 18 hours flight is no joke especially for long legs people, mine are short and still feel the crampiness...  hahaha...

 I remember on the May 19th at around 1pm, I was feeling so happy when we finally landed in SF...

See what I mean... hahahaa....
Adventures was going to begin then....
Now two months later.... I am here again....
Sitting at the check-in hall...
Time to go home.... 
I was having mixed feelings...
On one side, I am ready to go home...
On the other side, I wish the holiday didn't end so soon... 
hahahaha...
We came with four bags...
Home with six! 
And it would be even more if not for the weight limit..
Each person can only carry 100 lbs to check in and one cabin bag...
Waiting in line to check in our bags.. 
Anticipating the moment....
It was a relief when our bags didn't exceed the limit...
We could still bring in another 2 lbs in each bag.. hahahaa...
Regretted that we didn't pack an extra bag of walnuts! 


The flight from SF to Hongkong was smooth and on schedule,
 in fact it arrived earlier than expected...
Despite the lack of sleep, we still managed to find some appetite 
savoring a bowl of beef noodles and..... 
.... a bowl of duck meat noodles right here at the Hongkong Airport...
hahhaha...
Two bowls plus tea cost us HK$169 equivalent to $24usd!
Ok, I better not convert back to ringgit... 
 My "charn" look at the Hongkong Airport...
But no regrets la... my duck meat noodles was very tasty despite the price!
Hahahaha...
Now I am home... 
All went well despite the 24 hours journey...
Thank God for journey mercies...

I just woke up, couldn't sleep AND it is only 4.30am!!
Guess it is called "Jet Lag"....
Just might as well get up and write this post... 
hahahahaa...

    I usually find it harder to adjust to the jet lag when I come back to Malaysia too. It usually takes me at least 2 weeks to become a barely functioning human being again! Welcome home! XD

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....
