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…

Booked a Grab car for 3.00 pm. From our Bidara House, the traffic was smooth and we arrived at KLIA before 4.00 pm. Performed Asar prayers at the Surau Anjung Tinjau. Met the rest of the Yunnan Kembara Sufi group at the departure hall. All together there were 31 of us. After a short briefing by Arif, the tour leader, we group checked-in

Had a light dinner of mushroom pie and pastries from Bread History at the foodcourt before we cleared Immigration controls and headed to the departure gate.

Arrived in Kunming Changshui International Airport around 3.30 am. In the early hours of the morning, immigration and customs at Kunming Airport were fast and efficient, making our arrival smooth and hassle-free, setting a pleasant tone for the start of our journey.

A huge dinosaur and two little ones welcomed us at the Arrival Terminal. What a surprise!
