The day to say goodbye has arrived. Eva Air back to KUL from LAX took 23 hours. Oh yeah. Transit at the same place - Taipei for 4 hours.
Safely arrived KLIA at 2.40 pm as scheduled.
23 hours of captive time. I watched 2 movies = 4 hours, 3 times meal = 2 hours, Sleep = 5 hours, 2 episode of Breaking Bad = 2 hours, Blogging = 2 hours, Toilet break = 1 hour, Faking sleep = 2 hour, Reply emails, whatapps = 1 hour, Read books = 1 hour (hah!), window shopping Taiwan Airport = 1hr and do nothing 2 hour.
I think that was it. I survived. Alhamdulillah.
So how?
1. It was a good trip without major issue.
2. Timing was perfect which end Jan when the airfare and hotel rate were low (after holiday season, before CNY). Weather just perfect. A bit of cold a bit of sunshine, 18 Celsius. Rain seems shy away. No need winter jacket or long john. Layers will be good or normal jacket. Las Vegas at night is colder.
3. By 5.20pm already dark. Need to consider this when planning.
4. Free wifi from hotel is enough. No need new sim card.
5. LAX and TPE airport have free wifi.
6. I bought tour, show ticket, airport shuttle, check in flight thru phone. Just screen capture and save the bar code. No need to print.
7. Do not take brochure, CD etc given by people on the street at LV and LA. You don't know what is the catch. But be kind. Just smile and say no.
8. Tips minimum 10%
9. Be punctual. They are always on time if not earlier.
10. Be careful when buying LV shows. Choose Tix4tonight. Its genuine and at discounted price.
11. Grand Canyon Tour - South Rim, buy here
12. If you a bit fussy about food, bawa Brahim and choose hotel with microwave. It's makes a different. A meal cost around USD10.
13. Google review for Premium Shopping Outlet. Not all are good. Not all have the brand that you want. Look for clearance items first. Its good to have a bit more allocation budget for shopping.
14. Be safe. I screen shot all the maps that i needed in advance. So i don't need to look at physical printed map, where people will know that i'm a tourist. I do not carry any real camera anymore. Phone camera good enough for me.
15. I walk average 11km a day. Thought i'm able to loose one or two kg. Hmmm.. result said no change. With all those walk, still no change. Aiyah.
16. Nak pergi US lagi? Entah. Ada lebih 9 tahun lagi utk fikir.
