It is my annual global meeting and this time it is held in Barcelona instead of Geneva. Untimingly, the trip falls exactly in the week of the school holiday! I was crushed at the thought of not going on a holiday but was at least saved by the fact that I could be recharged by being away from the kids. Hehe.
Poor Daddy Lim would have to handle the kids on his own. He then decided to bring the kids to Penang on his own with the Chan and Lim family. So damn brave. I had to applaude him. And yes, my husband had planned to go on a trip with my friends without me. Sound strange isn't it?
Unlike my usual night flight, I decided to take a day flight to Barcelona this time so that I could spend an extra night with the kids. On Sunday night, I was feeling depressed; the thought of not being to join them on a holiday totally sux. The anxiety wasn't helping too, I couldnt help but remind the kids for the 100th time to behave and to stay close to Daddy Lim. What if Daddy Lim only comes home with 1 kid???!!!!!
I left home at 7.10am on Monday. I took Emirates and flew business. Nice, I know. Hehe. Emirates business comes with arranged transfer. Totally cool.
My ride was a Mercedes wor.
I arrived at the airport right on time and took my sweet time doing cosmetic shopping. I had been doing my shopping so regularly at so the airport that I even applied for the rewards card. Haha.
I also spent some time looking for the playground bcos Daddy Lim and the kids would be flying off from the same terminal the next day. Viola! Found, status and location reported.
I also couldn't help but a selfie with Lee Kwang Soo. Muaks.
I was dressed very comfortably. My new sneakers.
And I have Lil Shauna's watch bcos I didn't want to flash Daddy Lim's expensive watches around.
Time passed so quickly when there is no kids. Soon, I was in the plane. Woohoo! Look at that leg space.
Touch screen.
The last trip to Geneva was a night flight and I had to turn up for work upon touch down. Sleep was very much needed. This time, it was a day flight and I will have a night's rest before the meeting. Thus, the business class flight was totally a luxury.
As you can tell, I was enjoying the flight meal in peace and I watched movies after movies. Muahahaha.
Emirates' service was great and the stewardess came so regularly to check that things were fine. Of course they were.
After 7.5hrs, I touched down in Dubai and had 2 hours of transit before another 7.5hr flight. The wait wasn't too bad.
The 2nd leg of the journey was great too. I was trying my best to stay up in order to combat jetlag. However, I feel sorry for traveling business if I don't at least catch a cat nap on the seat that can be converted to bed. My cat nap turned out to be 2 hours. Hohoho.
Finally, after almost 18 hours, I was in Barcelona!
Not looking too bad huh?
The driver of the arranged transfer was waiting for me at the arrival gate. I like traveling in style. Hehe.
