Being Spiritual

21 Jul

Being spiritual means going down the drink’s list of Dewar’s Whisky, Bacardi Rum, Beefeater Gin and Absolut Vodka on board Air France to Paris!

I don’t think I am missing the girls, yet.

Etihad & Air France code sharing

21 Jul

What started out as code sharing between Etihad and Jet Airways turned out to be Etihad and Air France instead.

The first leg was 7 hours, leaving KLIA at 3.30am and arriving AUH 6.00am, Sunday. The next leg is timed for 6 hours and 40 minutes, departing at 9.00am. It’s a fuller flight so seat swapping looks unlikely. Oh well.

But at least no crying toddlers….

Which Time Zone Do We Follow?

21 Jul

I don’t normally eat lunch at 3.30pm; it would be more like an early afternoon tea but we are being served food again on board at 3.15pm (KL time), 11.15am (Abu Dhabi time).

It’s hard to follow whose time zone to adhere to when the airlines are following their schedule but your body follows your own.

I feel like I have been eating too much and too frequent!!! Maybe it was the Bacardi coke, taken so early that is causing the confusion….

Nonetheless, hubby and I both opted for the chicken stroganoff with rice (over the other two choices) as we figured the Asian in us will miss rice for the next few days being in Paris.

Wondering what M1 and M2 are up to as I chow down on airline food.

The holidays begin?

21 Jul

Flying off at three in the morning is something new as we normally do more sane departures for our other escapades. Like a zombie, we boarded to a half full flight and a couple of screaming toddlers.

I guess getting four hours of sleep is sufficient. In transit at Abu Dhabi now before the real holiday kicks in!

Separation Anxiety, Part 2

21 Jul

This has been a busy month for us, traveling again in a spate of two weeks. I think both M1 and M2 are used to it already by now, being older and having more activities to keep them occupied.

Tonight as we prepare to fly off for another six-days of separation, I sincerely think separation anxiety should not be happening. After all, since our first trip away from them (to Hong Kong), over the years we’ve done more than a week for each of our trips to the far and the exotic, they did not seem to mind our absence.

They are much older now and with our lived-in maid taking care of them (and Grandma not troubled), they also have the pets to keep them company and school work to keep them busy, six days will fly by very soon. Anyway, there’s always Skype, iMessage and Facetime if we have to see or hear them…

Wish us a great holiday!
