I took a long flight all the way from Ipoh to Aberdeen ALONE, all by myself... Am I clever? Says who?? LOL... Nothing great but for me, I think I have achieved a milestone. LOL.. More to come after travelling alone for the first time, the ice is broken.... finally.
From Ipoh to the KLIA, it took nearly 4 hours to reach due to the jam in the evening, thank God I started out early and I reached the airport half an hour before the counter is opened. Just nice to settle down and then checked in my big luggage. Went to the premier lounge to have a light dinner and waited for another hour before boarding time. Up on the plane, I spent my time watching two movies, most of the time, my eyes were closing and I guess the movies were watching me instead. Food on flight was not to my taste as usual, not their fault but mine, of course... never like to eat the main meals on board except for the cakes or ice cream. LOL..
Fast forward, after 12 hours of flight from KL to Amsterdam on transit then to Aberdeen, I arrived safely, Thank God for journey mercies and feeling super hungry by then!
The airport was under renovation... and I think I was the first one non EU to come out..
How did I know that?
Cos my bag was the first one to come out from the belt! LOL..
From the airport to where hungry tummies go....
It is called Frankie And Benny's..
We were the early birds...
By the time we left, all the booths were occupied...
We had Spaghetti with Meatballs...
Yes, I could finish all that!
And sweet potato fries...
There goes my waistline!
Alright, we actually shared this set...
Must leave some space for dinner!
My first meal in Aberdeen...
Glad to be here again!
Wahhhhhh!!! Travelling again, eh? Have fun there and happy bonding with your dear son.
ReplyDeleteWah! Glad to hear that you arrived safely in Aberdeen. Enjoy the cold weather there with Aaron!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen you go anywhere alone. Glad everything went well. You are so right about airplane food! You are so bundled up, is it cold there? Do you have real cold winters? The spaghetti and meatballs look so good! You have the most beautiful big smile, you just light up your blog!

ReplyDeleteIt is always great to be able to travel with your children right? I mean to spend time together with them. :)
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for the day I can travel alone too...but I doubt that day will ever come.
After the ice of travelling alone is broken, more exciting adventures will be on the way! Thank God you arrived safely. Enjoy your time with your son. Sweet potato fries sound great! Keep warm and stay safe!
ReplyDeleteSpaghetti meat balls does sound good when one is hungry from long flight.
