Take it lightly and be flexible when the kids:
- cannot wake up early in the morning due to jet lag
It happened to us on the 2nd day of the trip (7/3/2008). We planned to visit Australia Zoo on Friday but changed plan to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary when the kids woke up late after the long flight the day before. The zoo is much further than the sanctuary and we would have lost precious time on the journey.
- be creative
During our check-in at KLIA, we were informed that MAS requires 6 hours before a flight departure for a passenger to request children's meal on board. Waliow eh...what kind of rule is this.... So, that means no kids' meal for Ryan and Jaden. So makan apa? Thank goodness, mama brought along some potato bread for the kids. And thanks to papa's creativity, Ryan had a pretty decent meal. The two adult meal choices on board were not suitable for kids - nasi lemak (too spicy) and chicken potato casserole (too meaty). Ryan, being a china-boy insisted on having rice, so papa mixed the coconut rice (no sambal) with the chicken sauce.
- take it easy when the kids refuse to brush their teeth or eat their meals - normal routine stuff
After all, they're on holiday - so why not give them a break!

Phew... so no hair pulling in the flight?
Yvonne, the flight to Brisbane was manageable but it was a different story on the return flight. Going there flight was in the morning and Ryan entertained himself with the PSP while Jaden slept and drawed on his doodle. Coming back was terrible cos it was past midnight flight and the kids couldn't find a comfortable sleeping position on board...gosh, whining and whining...
So papai for MAS?
Wow.. you also travel a lot with the kids..
Show your Australia photos!
yeah holiday ma....chill and enjoy la
Hi Krystal, thanks for visiting baby Leanne's blog. I just created it recently. Slowly updating it... back tracking till the day she is born. Haven't updated it since March 23rd but will try to update more often...
