Lakwatsera's Random Nuggets

Day 4 (August 24, 2015) KL, Malaysia to Clark, Philippines We started our last day in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia very early!  Woke up at 4:30 A.M. as our morning flight back to Clark is scheduled at 9:00 A.M.  Although we already checked in on line at KLIA2 on Saturday, the said airport is still an hour's drive away from our hotel.  The good thing is that Metro Hotel again adjusted the availability of their Cafe an hour earlier at 6AM.  We have also arranged our transportation, a van from the hotel to take us to the airport at MYR 20 each! Not bad. We were rolling from the hotel at 6:30 AM... Thank you and Goodbye Metro Hotel! Till we meet again, KL! We reached the airport ahead of schedule.  However, we were again on some kinda' amazing race show as the boarding gate is tooooo far and the airport was huuuuuggeeee!!! Hehehehehe! Nevertheless, we made it at the boarding gate on time.  Boarded and waited for clearance as the weather in the Philippines is sti

CEBU-BOHOL ADVENTURE J une20-23, 2014 Warning:  A "backlog" blog post, over one (1) year in the making :-D FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 2014 (CLARK-CEBU) Arrival in Cebu City Since our flight to Cebu is scheduled at 8:40 PM, our group managed to report for work on Friday and went straight to Clark Airport after quitting time.  We arrived at Clark a little past 6PM, thanks to Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway! We traveled light, hence, we have no luggage for check-in.  We had no hassle checking in except for one of our friend who forgot her ID!  Tips for lakwatseras and lakwatseros, always bring a Valid Identification Card when traveling, it definitely saves time and effort:-)  Anyways, the good thing is that the Customer Representative from Cebu Pacific considered the digital copy of ID shown by our friend. Our flight departed on time and we arrived in Cebu at 10:05 PM.  One of our friends arranged transportation to pick us up from the airport to take us to our accommo

(Day )August 23, 2015 Whole Day City Tour - Kuala Lumpur Kuala Lumpur is the Capital City of Malaysia, its current population is 28 Million.  Malay is the national language but English is widely spoken.  Malaysians also speak various languages and dialects.  Another blooper from our group: we assumed that the meaning of "Selamat Detang" is "Thank You" since "Salamat" in Filipino means "Thanks".  "Selamat Detang Malaysia" actually means "Welcome to Malaysia!" Our Sunday started with buffet breakfast at Metro Hotel to prepare for our whole day KL CITY tour.  We have a D-I-Y Itinerary for the City Tour which looks like this:-)   SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 2015(MALAYSIA) - KL City Tour 4:00   AM                 CALL TIME (PREPARATION, BREAKFAST) 5:OO AM                  JUMP OFF TIME (NO WAITING)      *BATU CAVES (OPENS FROM 6AM TO 9PM) *KUALA LUMPUR RAILWAY STATION * MERDEKA SQUARE, KUALA LUMPUR CITY GALL

Day 2 (August 22, 2015) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Singapore, Singapore We arranged for transportation the previous night at the Metro Hotel Front Desk.  Two taxi cabs will  take us to the airport courtesy of the very accommodating hotel staff, "Russell".  The hotel was also gracious enough to provide us a light breakfast "to go".  The hotel's Cafe normally serves breakfast at 7AM.  Our call time at the lobby was at 4:00 A.M. on Saturday for our 7:45 flight to Singapore. While waiting for the others, we took turns taking photos at the Metro Hotel Lobby... Picture, picture while waiting... Sleeping Beauty, lol! As soon as everybody is ready, we hopped on the taxi cab to take us to the airport... Our 45 minutes journey from KL to SG begins... Seatmates:  Hubby and me with Kai We experienced turbulence during the 45-mins. flight, hubby hurt his head a bit while at the lavatory during the said turbulence.  All is well though! We
