Sunshine's 6th Beday!! Hotel Grand Alora - Alor Star, DinoTrek 2 & Tanjung Dawai..

alhamdulillah.. another vacation mode..
this time just near by jugak.. we still choose area-area utara..
got a few options in our mind lah..
but since cuti pun 3 hari jer and new year just around the corner and we planned to return to hometown jugak..
so kita take a vacation area-area Utara saja lah..
as long as its a quality time with family.. anak-anak happy.. goooood enufff kan..

as always vacation yang tak plan la yang happening kan..
dah a few weeks me mentioned dekat my other half nak bawak our kiddos pegi tengok pameran DinoTrek 2 di Alor Star..
and suddenly my other half voice out to over night kat sana and make it as our vacation day.. so apa lagi.. apply la cuti...

Hotel Grand Alora - Alor Star (Mergong)

Review pasal hotel Grand Alora nih.. 

hurm when doing reasearch.. a lists of hotel.. 

belek-belek images of hotel rooms and others facilities hati terbekanan to stay here.. 

because one of the criteria check in hotel adalah wajib ada pool and have a very good wifi connection in rooms.. and rooms nampak presentable.. huhuhu..

but trust me.. its very-very good choice.. sebab sangat lah berbaloi and puas hati staying here.. sebab apa? 

even its not bebetul tengah-tengah bandar Alor Star, but its only takes less than 30 minutes to reach pusat bandar you know..

bebetul setentang dengan hotel nih got a big Tesco - Tesco Mergong.. and memalam happening dengan stall makan yang pelbagai.. and this area jugak dikelilingi lots of lots shop lot.. 

so.. if you stay here.. bukan hotel ja yang cantik.. (boleh la tahan cantik nak banding dengan hotel-hotel lain kat Alor Star nih..)

and uol jugak nak access apa-apa pun senang.. ada Secret Recipies, macam-macam cafe, kedai kek (ahaksss sebab carik kek beday gegurl sebelah saja dengan hotel tu pong.. mudah kan?).. macam-macam lah.. name it and make sure poket berisi.. huhuhu..

tetiba tetengah malam perut berkeroncong kebuluq ka.. 

hampa pi la turun.. nak p window shopping ka.. or makan-makan ka.. 

tak dak susah hati dah laa.. sebab selalu pi hotel mana-mana susah la jugak nak makan ikut selera kita.. kalau setakat nak melantak makanan hotel tu.. boleh laa kan.. but kita pi mana-mana mesti nak try makan, makanan yang best kat that area kan kan kan.. and.. bila dah setentang dengan Tesco yang ko hanya perlu lintaih jalan jalan kaki saja.. mak sukaaaaaaaa tambah lagi jumpa plak kedai accessory yang best gilaaaaa... 

BUT.. the not best part hari tuh.. kami tak boleh nak extend untuk one more night.. frust!! sebab most of the rooms dah di book oleh Jabatan Audit Negara.. nyusahkan orang btui la haih!!! mak baru berangan nak mintak zakat lebih dengan my other half and tawaf all the shop lots there.. 

Jom lah layan picas hotel nih.. mostly banyak yang amik dari depa punya website.. sebab me tak sempat nak snap apa-apa dalam hotel nih.. kiddos excited.. faham-faham sajalah..

nah amik address kat bawah.. hahahaha

Rooms - washroom

Rooms

had a very fulled of breakfast.. macam-macam ada.. 

this was the last one yang me ate and me sempat snap.. hihihihi..

kata vacation, then we forget about diet sekejap haa.. 

teringat lagi rolled bun, appricot pie.. one words.. sedap!!

a bit ralat.. sebab tak sempat bawak kiddos sini..

plan nya nak extend one more night.. 

tapi mereka tak bagi.. as mentioned almost all rooms booked by Jabatan Audit Negara.. 

so we have to rush naik rooms balik.. mama nak pack up things..

hurm.. later we repeat yaa kiddo.. 

DinoTrek 2

tujuan asal ke Alor Star ni  adalah untuk ini.. DinoTrek 2..

hurmm.. nak cakap best sangat tu.. so-so laaa..

sebab me acelli pernah join school trip tengok dinosour nih dulu-dulu..

and me rasa zaman me dulu lagi happening kot.. 

maybe sebab kat situ buat dekat stadium.. kawasan luas.. and menariks..

or maybe time tu me pun kecik lagi.. excited terlebih.. 

since this time depa buat kat Balai Seni Negeri, and dorang letak that Dinasour section by section..

so mungkin sebab itu ia kurang menariks..

but.. its good to bring kiddos kat sini.. 

untuk pembelajaran.. seronok-seronok.. boleh laa kan.. 

waktu kemasukan and pakej..
we took the RM20 per family..
sepp laa RM10..

this is the map.. 

but we still tanya pakcik GPS lah.. 

cantek masjid nih.. just nearby.. 

seberang jalan saja..

tengok dari jauh menara Aloq Staq..

tak leh nak singgah ujan lebat seyhh.. 

acelli lepas melawat dinasour.. got a few list in mind.. 

sebab dah tanya pokcik Google.. tapi keadaan cuaca tidak mengizinkan.. 

hujan rahmat turun dengan lebatnya.. and we heading back to hotel.. 

Pantai Tanjung Dawai

well since dah tak boleh extend.. we decided to go somewhere else..

my other half cadangkan Pantai Tanjung Dawai.. 

since tak pernah pegi sana.. me tanya pakcik Google ada apa-apa hotel menariks atau tidak di sana.. macam-macam hotel pokcik mentioned.. 

tapi hampeh.. pegi sana.. apa pun tak ada.. boleh la kalau hampa nak makan mee udang.. 

nak cari ikan masin.. nak naik bot ke seberang sana - Pantai Merdeka.. 

so end up.. makan mee ketam semangkuk share dua orang.. and ABC.. 

tengok-tengok keliling.. and heading back to home sweet home.. 

bot untuk ke seberang sana.. 

ada ekspo kata nya sana.. tapi mood a bit spoilt.. 

malas nak pegi seberang even kiddos excited nak naik bot.. 

RM 2.00 per head kot.. and ada pakej untuk berapa-berapa orang.. 

ini budak memang pantang tengok air.. dia kira nak terjun saja..

hahaha.. noty my angle.. 

we decided to have mee ketam.. 

since dah selalu makan mee udang.. 

rasa? manehhhhhh baq hang.. hahahaha.. 

alhamdulillah... dengan limpah kurniaNya.. berkesempatan celebrate birthday our baby gurl.. 

and together with family vacation..

but to be honest.. at first.. me sangat happy.. soooo happy..

can spent quality time together with my lovely family... its really hard to get together like this.. 

without any gadget.. as my hubby is a traveller guy.. you know.. nak pegi mana-mana selalu kena tengok schedule dia.. 

but its end with spoilt my mood as i was expecting.. its a family trip which is only family... 

only family.... hurmmmmm.. 

assalamualaikum...
