My 17 Hours Journey Across The World

IT IS 1AM IN MALAYSIA 18/3/2017... and 10am in San Francisco 17/3/2017.
For the past 24 hours I have been flying in midair ... Started off journey from Ipoh to KLIA at 7am and reached around 10am... checked in our baggage and have two hours plus to relax at the Premier Lounge while waiting.

Flight was on schedule, three hours over flying to Hongkong for transit and immediately board Cathay Pacific for San Francisco at 6.30pm. All in all, the flight journey took 17 hours... Thank God for journey mercies, everything was smooth, only problem is that I could not get a proper sleep.  Sitting down for more than 17 hours is no joke... I don't know where to put my "long legs"... LOL... Must start budgeting for a premier or business class seating in future...  
Took our brunch here... 
All ready to go... 
At the waiting area....
With my brown faithful companion... 
While waiting to board.... 
After the 17 hours flight, we finally stepped into SF airport...
My long vacation has just begun...

    I have phobia for long haul flights with my really 'long legs' and sleeping problems too. I actually found a way to doze off is by taking a bit of alcohol and read a book from an unfavourable distance. It would strain my eyeballs to send me into sleeping mode. Other wise I have to pop a sleepy herbs supplement before boarding.

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....
