Our adventurous roadtrip

Pack up, honey we're going off tomorrow =D

Hubs and I couldn't decide on where to go for the school holidays so we ended up on a mini adventurous roadtrip to the East Coast. (I only packed on the day itself! - Call me lazybones ;) hehe..)

So on Friday, we took our own sweet time procrastinating.. la di da.. then finally packed and ready to go (at 2pm! eeps..) Kd fell asleep almost immediately since he skipped his morning nap and didn't wake up til almost 3 hours later! Buk was yakking most of the way but did nap for a while (and so did I!) lol..

By the time we hit Cherating, it was already 5+ but we continued on to Dungun where we found a mini-mall and filled our rumbling tummies =D With kids happily fed and freshen up, we continued on with our journey..

Paka was next and it was getting dark so we started looking out for a place to stay.. I think we must have tried asking a bezillion hotels, motels, chalets you name it, and they were all fully booked!!

At our last motel enquiry, Hubs met a young guy who suggested we hit to Kuala Terengganu town and try asking Felda Hotel or Seri Malaysia hotel (to my horror really since we have had a bad experience with Seri Malaysia Resort Port Dickson).

We stayed optimistic and headed to KT town (which seemed forever from Paka lol!) while trying to book a room at Felda Hotel. They only allow walk-ins and would not let us reserve a room over the phone! My heart was racing by this time if you can imagine, thinking of all the people hunting for a room like we were!

Thankfully, and to our relief, we manage to get a room at Felda Hotel.. It was already slightly after 11pm! Hubs was so tired from all the driving and I just wanted to get out of the car and get the kids comfortable..

BUT.. before we could rest and relax, our room keycard was faulty!! Hubs called the reception and they sent someone up to get us another keycard.. So there we were, standing outside our welcoming room, carrying the boys as they slept (along with their dead weight) just waiting..

By the time we got in, we had a quick shower, changed the boys into their Pjs and totally just passed out at quarter after midnight.. Nice.. =D
