My BFFs and I have been planning for a vacation for the longest time. Last we had one together was six years ago, to Boracay! (blogged, here) This time round we have our kids with us so we're all very excited cos travelling with children, we know for sure it's no leisure. More like we're asking for trouble hahaha. So last Dec, my two girls applied for leave and we decided to travel during the March holiday.
We had a bit of a ding-dong on the destination before we all agree that we shouldn't be too ambitious and fly with four kiddos. Just imagining them running around the airport is enough to exhaust me, then what if they can't keep still inside the plane? Oh the horror! In the end, we decided on Desaru. YAY!
Every other week, we reminded each other of the days countdown. Had our private car booked and the apartment too, which was so spacious and lovely and a stone throw away from the beach. We told the kids we're going for a holiday, and Mini has been asking for 'hotel' with Aufa and Khayla ever since.
But then, bak kata pepatah, kita merancang Tuhan menentukan. Four days before our departure, all plans were called off cos my leave approval for overseas travel was rescinded. The same day, Malaysia announced its Movement Control Order.
To say that we were upset is an understatement. T_T
So we did the next best thing we could do....
