Malaysia and Singapore.. Rediscovered

Oct 2011.

It’s a 9days/ 8 nights trip of Kuala Lumpur- Singapore- Kota kinabalu, this time with my family and another family. Hahaha! There will be 9 of us discovering Kuala Lumpur, 15 of us exploring Singapore and 4 of us experiencing Kota Kinabalu. Think this will be great.

It may be quite tiring to book flights and make travel arrangements for people with different needs, {accompanying us will be two seniors in wheelchairs (in their 70′s and 80′s) one kid with feet injury, and one adult who tires easily because of some heart problem} but it was all fun doing all the research and coordination especially when the hotels/hostels you are booking with do not reply to your query. This was the biggest challenge.

I’ll be posting more about this trip once it’s done. Happy trip to all of us! :)
