Don’t get me wrong, I am not promoting Air Asia Go Holiday package. It happened that I made a booking to Nexus Resort Karambunai in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah with AirAsia. for my vocation cum blogging at this resort from 31-Oct-09 to 6-Nov-09.
I arrived LCCT airport at about 8.40am and checked in at 8.45am. My flight was at 10.20am so I have amber time to go for my breakfast at Old Town Coffee which was newly open. After my breakfast, I took a slow walk to the domestic departure hall at about 9.45 am and did a quick check on my email. I use Air Asia for several times and noted that there is a seat number on my boarding pass. I don’t know when it was started to have seat number but there is no rush to board the plane this time ( maybe due to allocated seats )
When on board, the 1st officer announced to have seat belt unfastened as the aircraft was doing refueling. The flight was delay mere less than 10 minutes and the take off as a breeze ( great job pilot ! )
I did this part of the blog on the aircraft while travelling to Kota Kinabalu. Wow ! what an experience. I feel like I am a great blogger with great ideas for my post. Try it, you sure have a sense of achievement.. Surprisingly, the airbus was very stable, I could not feel any vibration while I was posting this blog. The flight touch down at 12.50 pm, 10 minutes late (not too bad). After I check out at the immigration, I waited for about 10 minutes to pick up my luggage include my golf beg. While walkled out from the arrival hall, I saw a man hold a card with my name on it. He was my pick up person. We left the airport at about 1.30 pm and took an easy drive to the resort which took about 35 minutes. There was no traffic jam perhaps due to Saturday.
At Nexus Resort, I was greeted and settle down with a welcome drink. I sit a while before I proceed to the coffee house where I had my lunch. As my room was not ready for check in, I walk around the resort and took note of the makan place. There is a restaurant for, a pub and and Chinese Restaurant. There is also a samll eating place by the beach.
At about 3.15 pm, the sky certainly very cloudy and dark looks like going to rain. True enough, certain downpour at 3.20pm. I sat by the lobby lounge to write this part of the post.
