My Travel Bay

Matta Fair will be held on 5 - 7 September. If you want to take a short break and enjoy a vacation with your family or loved ones, then you should get your flight tickets on that time. I wonder if my hubby will give a surprise again.

Well, hubby always want to visit to the largest casino in US. We can’t afford travel there in this few years time. We work very hard as to hope for a vacation in US one day.   

I suggested to hubby as to join any of the USA Online Casinos. Even though he can’t play in the real casino in US now, but he can play through USA Online Casino to fulfill his dream at this moment. Let me get more information and find out which is the best USA Online Gambling site for him.

Do you believe it? Yes, it is true. AirAsia X has announced its latest international route from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne. Its first round of travel deals of fares from as low as RM99 from Kuala Lumpur and AUD199 nett from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur. What a great news for those who love travel, just like me. LOL!!!

Melbourne will be AirAsia X’s fourth destination after Gold Coast, Hangzhou and Perth. Guess what, I got the cheap air tickets to Gold Coast in May, but I booked it about 6 months ago.

The promotional fares will be made available between Aug 21 to 24 for travel period between Nov 12, 2008 to April 30, 2009. Gosh, I wonder if hubby is free to go Melbourne within these date. If he is agree, then I will get ready to sit in front of my laptop to book for the tickets.

*slap head* Hubby is running his travel company, he can ask his staff to book for us.

Have you been to any Cruises before? I did but it was a small cruise and not much entertainment for their guests. I felt bored for 2 days in the cruise with my family. Hubby always wants to go for cruise with me, but I told him that I won’t go for cruise anymore as I didn’t feel the real experience of cruising at all.  May be I have a bad experience on cruise for the first time.

I was so excited when hubby showed me about the newest of Royal Caribbean Cruise. This Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas will be the largest cruise ship in the industry when she launches in December 2009. You can enjoy fine dining, shows, music dancing, movies, shopping, cultural events, sports, games, an exciting Vegas-style casino and so much more.

Hubby is dreaming to experience this luxury cruise every day. Well, we might go for it if we affordable, but I think it will be very expensive. Nothing is impossible, we still have 2 years to save money for this trip. LOL!!!

We have discussed our temporary agenda last Sunday. So here it is :

Day 1: Airport - Central World - China Town
Day 2: Safari World and Marine Park
Day 3: Dream World
Day 4: Tiger Zoo
Day 5: Shopping - Airport

We will stay at shoppingmum’s house, but she and her family might not be joining us for some days as they just started their business. She will help us to look for a driver and van, if not then we have to take taxi.  Actually I thought to take a tour package, but since kids are going along with us, it is too rush and tired for them. Anyway, we will arrange again.

I told hubby that I need a vacation after helped him on some hard work. LOL!!! Well, I know I’m so greedy since I will go to Bangkok for holiday next month, but who doesn’t like me? I always hope to enjoy and relax on beautiful beaches, but I don’t think I will go to any beaches when I travel to Bangkok, somemore I don’t think that there are any nice beaches.

Tell me if you’ve been to Hilton Head Island before as I always dream to go there. It is the best travel destination especially with your loved ones. I know Hilton Head South Carolina has a wealth of activities and lovely beaches. I wonder when is my dream will comes true.

Nothing is impossible, right? If hubby and I afford to go to Hilton Head SC one day, then sure I will book our accomodation near beach as I want to relax and watch the sun set into the water. What a enjoyable life!

This blog is gained from PR0 to PR1 recently. I didn’t feel happy at all, but if for last time I will jump off from my chair. May be make money online is not my aim anymore though I have something else to do. Of course I will blog if they are offers for me.

All my other blogs remain with the same PR. I don’t mind and won’t feel dissapointed. So, how is your PR? Of course you won’t mind if you are not the one who concentrate about making money online. But for those who need PR, I do hope you gain a good number.

Have you been to South Africa? I heard that it’s a very nice country to experience the South Africa Adventures. How I hope I can be there for a vacation one day. I know travel to South Africa might be a costly trip, but if we can save up for the trip, that will be definitely great. May be we can look for the best and affordable South Africa Accomodation, so that we can save some to visit other nice tourist places.

I have checked through the accomodation in South Africa. They are so nice and unique. Let me introduce to you a nice and affordable Knysna Accomodation. It’s a peaceful place and suitable for family vacation. But I personally like to stay near beach and listen to the sound of waves. It’s really wonderful. I told hubby to work harder so that we can enjoy our next family trip in South Africa.

I went for breakfast with my friends after my yoga class few days ago. We talked about the old folks home that we visited last Friday. Besides that, we discussed about when to have a gathering. My yoga instructur even plan a trip to Hong Kong. We are so excited with the trip she talked about, but we wonder when is the best time to go Hong Kong.

After thinking for a while, I better go with my hubby and kid. Actually hubby and I thought to bring our kid to HK Disneyland, most probably next year. I wonder if it is best to go during summer time? Gosh, it’s too hot but I can shop till I drop. Autumn or spring, I can’t shop much on those clothes. Winter, very cold but excited.

For those who been to HK, can you give me some suggestions when is the best time to travel there ? :-) 

Sometimes I do miss those joyful days with friends during my Korea trip two years ago. But I also miss my hubby and kid when I’m not around with them. Luckily my mother in law agreed to take care of my kid. It was a clumsy trip for me as my stroller luggage bag broke on the way to the airport.

The luggage bag quite new and I wonder why the quality is so bad. Luckily my tour guide helped me to carry it. Well, I bought so many souvenirs and Korea food products and squeezed all the stuffs in the luggage bag. I told myself that I will get a good quality luggage bag if I am flying for another trip.

I guess it is the time for me to do shopping on luggage bag as I will go to Bangkok for holiday soon. Well, Luggage Online provides different types of luggage a traveler looking for. The most important thing is that I want to get a good quality luggage bag. TravelPro is one of my choice with the design of their luggage will never be out of style.

I went to Shanghai for my honeymoon 3 years ago and it was winter season that time. Even though I enjoyed the trip with my hubby but Shanghai is not my dream vacation for honeymoon. Anyway, my brother will go honeymoon with his wife early next year, and I suggested him to go honeymoon in French Polynesia.

I didn’t know about this island until hubby told me. I checked through the information about French Polynesia. It is made up of several groups of islands like Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora and etc. Tahiti is the most popular island among other islands.

Looking at the beautiful island picture of French Polynesia, who doesn’t want to go? If you are thinking where to go for your honeymoon, I’m sure Tahiti is the best and romantic island to enjoy your couple days. Check out the Tahiti Holidays package at EasyTahiti.com and get the special offer. Of course it is not just for honeymoon package, you can also enjoy your holiday and spend quality time with your family in this beautiful island.

I always hope to go for a luxury vacation with my family to UK. Who doesn’t want ? With the currency in UK, I guess I have to wait for few more years in order to fulfill my dream. Well, we thought to go Singapore end of this year, but since hubby is very busy with his jobs and we have little time to organise our family holidays, I think we will postpone our plan till next year.  

Anyway, I got to know that Buenaviva can help us if we really want to enjoy our family holiday. It is a Vacation International Points (VIP) Club. This VIP club gives their members a fabulous accommodation at top class international resorts and they will enjoy a fast and efficient reservation service.

Besides getting luxury accomodation, you can also get the best deals on flights and activities when you reach the destination. They make sure that you receive the very best holidays. For those who are very busy all the time and want to organise a family trip, you can check out their site at Buenaviva.net for more information.

I will go to Bangkok for holiday with my family and friends in September. We have bought flight tickets but yet for accomodation. We planned to go to Pattaya and stay there for a night too. My friend asked me to search for cheap and nice hotel in Pattaya, Bangkok. Actually we can get help from my hubby’s travel company, but I want to get the lowest rate if possible by myself.  You may wonder why I just need to book accomodation in Pattaya, but not in Bangkok. Well, we will stay at our friend’s house and she will bring us to walk around Bangkok.

We are so excited waiting for the trip and kids are going along with us this time. There are many attractive places like zoo, marine park, crocodile farm. These places are suitable for kids, but I worry about the food there though most of them are hot and spicy. Anyway, I will prepare milk, bread, biscuits for my kid in case the food is not suit him.

September is my travel month for me as I will go to Kuala Lumpur as to attend my friend’s wedding dinner with my hubby and kid once we back from Bangkok. We will stay a night and shop around the next day. Gosh, I’m not only looking for accomodation in Pattaya but Kuala Lumpur too.  

My friend just MSN me to check out the accomodation through Hotels Combined. It is a unique free tool that searches multiple hotel reservation websites like Venere or Quik Book which simultaneously to help us find the lowest rate instantly. They eliminate the need to search major websites one by one in order to compare prices and availability. It save my time and money. I found the cheap and nice hotel in Pattaya, but I need to ask my friends before I book for it. LOL!!!

Cameron Highlands is the largest and most famous hill resort. It is the smallest district in the state of Pahang, Malaysia. The first town from the south is Ringlet, followed by Tanah Rata, Brinchang, Kea Farm, Tringkap, Kuala Terla and Kampong Raja. I went there to enjoy the cold weather with my hubby and kid yesterday.

First, we took our lunch at The Smoke House Hotel & Restaurant. As I know, it is the most expensive hotel and restaurant in Cameron Highlands. The design od the building is so unique just like an old English country houses. The Smokehouse Hotel, however, is not just about the rooms or the gardens but the expensive food.

Next, we stopped at butterfly farm as I want my kid to see and experience the real butterflies which hardly find in Ipoh. I told him that we will go to catch butterflies before we off to Cameron Highlands. He was so excited when he sees the butterflies, but scared to touch them.

We went to Strawberry farm before we back home. It is a must place to go when you visit to Cameron Highlands. My kid is so happy to pluck the strawberries himself. Actually we want to go to BOH tea plantation too, but it’s too late as they close at 4.30pm. Well, we can always travel there as it’s less than an hour journey from Ipoh.    

After thinking for hours, we decided to buy 2 tickets for the Draculas night show before we back to Malaysia the next morning. It is an Australia’s most horrific, hideous, incredibly scary but most sensational evening of entertainment at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast.

Main entrance

Hubby said it’s worth to experience their advance bands, decoration, food and show even though the price is expensive - A$78.00 per person.  The ticket price includes ghost train ride, 3 course dinner, all pre show entertainment and the live horror comedy show.

Ticketing area

Able to snap this photo at the entrance

Too bad that camera is not allow inside the hall. I can only snapped some photos before enter. If you want to know more about the show, you can visit to their site.

photo with those draculas ~ A$16

The show is full on every weekend with A$84 per person. We bought the tickets at The Haunted House when shopping in central Surfers Paradise. If our kid is along with us, I don’t think we can enjoy the show though it’s designed for a mature audience, and children under 13 years old are not recommend.  

I really can’t believe when hubby tell me that he has bought flight tickets to Bangkok with me in September. Well, I did say that I want to go to Bangkok one day as my friend will move there with her family next week. Actually the tickets are cheap with RM5 only per pax, exclude airport taxes. LOL!!! After add up the airport taxes, it is RM320+ per pax. I asked hubby to buy another flight ticket as I want to bring my kid along this time. 

Bangkok is a shopping heaven and I wonder if I have time to shop till I drop. I hope to go to Central World, Siam Paragon and Plantinum shopping malls. We will go with friends and their kids too, so my kid has friends to play around. We will stay in Bangkok for 5 days 4 nights, and it is a free and easy trip. I like F&E trip as we don’t have to rush like hell since kids are along with us.

My friend and I so excited waiting for the trip. Gosh, still have 3 months to go !!!
