We Are In Saigon Again

Here we are again in Saigon. This is the third time we came to Saigon for this year. I never expect that Saigon will be our second home now. But I am happy as it will give new environment and new dimension of life to me.
This time our flight was in the morning of Saturday. Actually it was a Public Holiday in celebration of our king's birthday. Since it was a public holiday, I expected many people will go for a holiday and the check in counter would be crowded with people. I decided to check in early to avoid long queue. My sister Suria and my mother sent us to KLIA. However, when we reached KLIA, the queue was short and smooth.
After checked in we walked around at the bookstore and then had drinks at our normal café prior boarding. It was a little bit too early for us, but it's okay as we could seat , relax and reading while waiting for boarding. After 15 minutes, we had drinks at the café I proceeded to the immigration counter and we went straight to gate H10. It was quite a distance and was the last gate in a row. We were waited there for about one and half hour before the gate was open at about 1.45p.m.
While waiting for the gate to be opened, I saw a group of old ladies with range of ages between 50's to 60's who went for ravel and shopping I believed. And I suspected they were all from Penang. From the conversation I heard they are a group of ladies who used to travel. One of them even suggested the group to go to Khatmandu for a holiday and heard that she had traveled to many places like Cape town, Wellington, Beijing and few others places that quite familiar as tourist spots. I was impressed on how they can explained in details for each places they've been to.
When the crew announced that the door was open for boarding, we were amongst the earliest who boarded first as we were travelers with kids. Like any other trip, I always choose to be seated at the center of the aircraft near to the  emergency door and the plane's wing. And it always besides the window. After seated, Shakira will always started searched for her favorite movie or cartoon from the small screen of the head rest of the front seat. This time she choose the Toy Story. As an adult , I will definitely  choose the lasts movie. Seconds after we started our movie the cabin crew came to confirmed that we had ordered special kid's meal for Shakira. This time the kid's meal was not as what we expected as they only served sandwiches for both kids and adults. it was maybe tea time as the flight was in the afternoon. Pity Shakira as she expected for a spaghetti like our previous flight to Saigon. Nevertheless, she ate the biscuits and chocolate provided in the box. After about 1hr 45 mins we landed at HCMC international airport. We went through the immigration counter and straight away to the café we used to wait for daddy.
Less in 10mins Shakira was waving to somebody and screamed daddy, daddy...here we are daddy and the driver is here. Alhamdulillah we didn't wait for too long. Straight away to the car and went  to our condo , Emperia Anh Phu in district 2.
