Leaving on a jet plane .....



Left home at 9pm for our 11:20pm Malaysian Airlines flight to KL. The security area was packed full of people, but I was selected to go through one of the new body scanners which was sooooo fast! 
Flight left early, settled in to watch a movie then dozed on and off for a few hours. They woke us all up to give us the most disgusting breakfast, fake eggs and green beans! I just had the croissant which was ok.
Arrived in KL nearly an hour early, had a couple of hours to kill before next flight to Kota Kinabalu. Plenty of cafes open so a nice coffee and some toast and a chance to put my knee up for a while - I wore TED stockings but it is a bit swollen but not sore.
On smaller plane for next leg - 2.5hrs. They served a yummy breakfast, prawn and anchovy curry, I loved it, needless to say Sean didn't! We also got orange cake and a Hershey bar :-)
Flying into Kota Kinabalu was beautiful, very picturesque from the air, and also warm and humid.
Taxi to our hotel. Whisked up to the 11th floor to the Pacific Club check-in which was very efficient. Our suite is beautiful and we have the most amazing marina and golf course views. (I have some good pics on my camera but don't have an adaptor for iPad mini, will sort it out later, so just iPhone pics for now).
The hotel also delivered us flowers to help celebrate our anniversary which was lovely.
Had a much needed shower then headed out to play 9 holes of the 27 that are attached to this resort. Amazing water views from every hole, absolutely beautiful. Again, the iPhone pics don't do it justice but that is all I can add for now. Greens a lot slower than RQ but we did feel right at home with the planes taking off above us :-)
Had a nice cool drink afterwards, was certainly humid but there was a nice breeze. Back for shower them to club lounge for drinks and canapés and to watch sunset!
Dinner in restaurant, one of 5 I think in this resort, very nice Malaysian Curry. Watched spectacular lightening show - this pic is actually pitch black sky with sheet lightening :-)
Hit the wall now, off to bed xx
