i am newbie too... just knew here not long ago....

First, ready your transportation funds for you or if you’re together with your family. Second would be, pick the appropriate type of vehicle that would give you the finest comfort you will get while wandering around. Third, never hesitate to try other means of transportation. Others may give you more satisfaction and provide better accommodation for you. And lastly, do a background check on the different transportation service available in the market. Always remember, safety first when traveling.



Through accessing hotlines and with just a call away there are different transportation resources ready to assist you anytime and anywhere.

In addition to this, there are also available websites that you can visit online which gives further information on the different transportation services present around Florida. Visiting websites hosting transportation services makes it a lot easier for you to be assisted accurately anytime of the day.

Likewise, if you’re on a tight budget, availing low rates of sedan service is not a bad choice. Getting cheaper services is also a good idea; it’s the good service that matters and this is what transportation services in Florida guarantee to customers. As long as you or your whole family finds comfort while traveling, the enjoyment that you get is what’s important.

my opinion... bring big lugauge and little clothes coz gonna fill the rest of the space with shopping thingy.... since clothes can send to dobi

I found that there are lots of travel tips in Malaysia Airlines's blog: www.malaysiaairlinesblog.com
for those who travel with toddlers can check on this article in MAS's blog: How to prepare toddler for long haul flights, good reference

hi guys, am going to travel to kl in january. wanna buy some shirts for cny as well as go sight seeing around. been a long time since i go to kl. i need some help in some areas. btw, i'm going with 5 pax inclusive myself.

1) wad's the cheapest way to get to genting, and wont take too long (*morning flight, should reach LCCT by or b4 noon)

2) wad's the cheapest way and also fastest, to reach Berjaya Times Square (BTS) from genting?

3) from BTS to LCCT?

4) i heard from few frens tat using meter taxi is safer, but some of my frens argue back tat if we use meter, they might also bring us "holan holan" few roundabouts to add more cash to the meter? should i op for if i were to go to some malls (*like say, BTS to 1u or mid valley or sunway lagoon)

really appreciate all the replies as i need as much option as possible for me to survey. juz booked my tickets juznow.

Some things i practice ..

1. Bring polyster tees. They dry very fast after a wash & can be worn the nxt day.
2. Bring a thin cotton tee - use it for sweaty activities.
3. Bring a 100ml bath shampoo - in case some cheapo hostel does not provide soap. It can be used for washing shirts too & 100ml is enough for 1 wk.
4. To dry washed clothes - roll them like a a swissroll layered with a dry towel. It will dry faster.
5. Buy a hp cam - with 5mp nowdays, the quality is better than some cameras. And u can just flip if out of the pocket for candid moments, so much less hassle + spacesaving. Inconspicous so that ur not identified as a tourist.

Tripods are one hell of a hassle to carry it. I usually don't even carry them (even though sometimes I wish I have). If you're talking about mini tripods for compact cameras, then by all means bring them

If you know there is definitely a need, then get one of those lighter ones. Not the best quality, but holds up my 70-200L well enuff for the occasional shot.

Got any tips for buying backpacks in JB, using it for holiday in Pulau Perhentian.

well,i want to share my travel experience to scotland. due to it's cold,i went there last summer,but it was bout 6 to 8 degree celcius during daytime and 0 degree celcius at night,it's freezing cold,so,sufficient winter clothing is a
must. my friends and i drove there (we were studying in England),so map's crucial (before going there we've done alot of seraching from the internet for the famous sight-seeing places,food etc.,i really think that it's necessary to search for info before travelling). due to the humidity there is low, body lotion is crucial for girls. Others stuff like carrying enough money and clothes...last but not least, our persoanl safety is very important,so i think it's better to travel in a group...happy travelling...

Me and my family (my wife and a toddler) came back from Sydney 2 weeks ago. Its a great city but its airport immigration was horrible. we were held up more than 2hrs in the airport. being questioned rudely. movement restrained. our effort to seek clarification ignored. frankly i do not think australia welcome everyone as tourist into their country. why do i think that way? i filed complaint after i got back to their immigration, to a third party complaint bureau, to their tourism board. they gave standard answer. they have done nothing wrong. and me and my family do not deserve apology.

if u still think oz is a good destination, do a lot of preparation for their immgiration questioning. make sure u hv u stomach full before clearing the immgiration and bladder empty as well. bring along your graduate degree, job appointment letter, fix deposit cert, your house grant, etc. show them you live like a king in your home country. if not they will think you are going to stay and beg in their street and wont go.

You can take a bus, maybe Skybus or Aerobus, from LCCT to KL Sentral Station. Once you reach KL Sentral Station, you can use the Genting Express Bus service to go to Genting Highlands. If you are traveling in group, you can read the info on SkyVans.
