Our Very First Family Vacation

Bought little Marilyn for her very first oversea trip on 6th July 2018, not going anywhere far, just a short family get away at JB.

Planning trip with toddler wasn’t an easy task, too many small details required to take into consideration, can you believe that my luggage for our 3 days trip to JB is so much heavier compared to my 2 weeks trip to South Africa? Luckily we are driving in ourselves, so we can afford to bring along big luggage, just dump everything into the car.

Initially we are still quite afraid that Mari will get cranky on the road trip, but we plan the time well, we set off near to her nap time. She manage to sleep through both her way, in & out of Singapore, no drama at all during the driving trip.

It was a real tiring 3 days take care of Mari all by ourselves. She gets pretty cranky from time to time due to lack of sleep and change of diet, but we manage to overcome all, still have some time off for spa. Thanks to hub for the spa treat and he offered to take care of Mari all by himself for 2 hours while I’m relaxing.

We spend a lot of time at the pool as Mari really love to play with water, the pool was located at the top of the building with amazing view looking across the harbor.

We spend a little more on the hotel stay, that the money I’m willing to pay for convenience, nearest hotel to the Hello Kitty Town & security. I just want no hic-up through the whole journey.

But I will say the trip to JB Hello Kitty Town was a pretty bad experience, as we are Chinese and don't speak their language, we are given a different treatment. We got very pissed over it, luckily there are some kind locals actually help us out.

Quality family time spend together, look forward for more of such trip in the near future.
