My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

(A long walk to the plane)

Day 11: 14 October2024 (Monday)

We had a late breakfast then checked-out by 9.30 am. Went to the airport in two taxi.

At the.check-in counter we were told that there were errors in the tickets. Instead of 14 Oct the tickets were bought for 14 Nov. With the assistance of the ground crew, cancellation and reissuance of new tickets were made.

Finally, three persons managed to board the 12:30 pm KAM Air flight. Another two boarded the 15:40 pm Ariana Afghan Air. The remaining three had to spend the night in Herat and would be flying to Kabul tomorrow afternoon as there were no more seats available on today's flights.

For the two of us, our 3.40 pm flight FG252 Ariana Afghan Air departed to Kabul on time. Our business class seats came with full in-service meals. Arrived safely in Kabul at 4.45 pm. Ismail and Hayat's brother were already waiting to pick us at Gate C and sent us direct to Khyber Hotel.

We had pizza and chicken popcorn for dinner in the hotel room. Tonight we repacked our bag for the overnight trip to Nangarhar tomorrow.
