Trip to Malaysia - Part III

Now that the tournament is over, we are all able to relax a little bit more. My dad flew into Kuala Lumpur to watch me play (for the first time ever!) and my sister and her family flew in as well from Minnesota. Dad saw little Graham for the first time and spent some valuable time with him during the short trip.
We decided to see the Petronas Twin Towers and unfortunately, the Skybridge is closed every Monday! So we only admired it from afar...
and directly outside the structure.
It's amazing how quickly time flies and we're back on the plane again. The first leg from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai was 7+ hours. It was nice to have all 4 seats in the center isle of the plane. Graham loved every minute of it!
Just kidding... Graham had his usual bassinet seat. Good thing he wasn't strong enough to open the latch!
When we arrived in Dubai at 1pm, we planned on taking a nap and then heading out to see the city. By the time we woke up, it was already dark outside! So we decided to continue on sleeping and by the time we woke up again, it was now 2am. We had a little snack and decided to visit the tallest building in the world - the Burj Khalifa. And talk about TALL!!!
Unfortunately, the lighting at 3am was not very good. But let me assure you, 160 stories is a long way up!
By 6:30am, we were back at Dubai International Airport. Did I mention how big this airport is??? And it is constantly busy no matter what day or time!
On our 16 hours and 1 minute flight back to Houston from Dubai, we had 3 seats to ourselves on the left side of the plane, right behind the Business Class. Graham enjoyed watching Disney classics with Mommy...
and spilling water and orange juice all over Mommy (and looking all innocent) with only 3 hours left into the flight!
Thankfully, Mommy was prepared for the worst and packed extra clothing in our extra-heavy carry-on luggage, which Daddy took care of most of the time. Thanks Daddy! :-)

We are glad to be home now after the long trip home. Thursday was a blur as all of us slept throughout the entire day! Last night, Graham has been up almost every 2 hours and so he is obviously still getting through his jetlag. If he continues to be up tonight, perhaps I'll have to get together all the hand-puppets that we collected on Emirates Airlines!
