Weekend Stayover

Checking out the golf course outside....

Weekend stay over at the hotel coincided with AIR’s 14-month birthday. No, we didn’t intentionally go there for his birthday but it was supposed to be a postponed anniversary stay-over. It was just in Holiday Inn Glenmarie. Rooms seemed to have been refurbished since the last I was there and it’s nice. I think they went through a re-branding exercise too, as the brand logo has also been changed.

It was AIR’s first hotel stay and when we checked into the room he was super-excited. Babbling away non-stop, walking and exploring all over the room he was really happy.

After a short rest we decided to take him for a dip in the pool. It’s been ages since the last one. And that was when he hasn’t started walking. And my oh my, he just couldn’t wait the moment he saw the pool. Struggling while changing didn’t help. Once he was done, he just ran towards to pool. Aiyo, dangerous man. In the pool, he just couldn’t stop kicking and splashing with his arms, mimicking swimming moves and trying to push himself towards to side of the pool. Dunno where he learnt that but it was good to see. The best part was the kids’ pool was just nice for him to stand up. It took him by surprise when I just let him go all of a sudden, but he managed well.

Now, if a 2-3star hotel can provide free wifi and broadband services, why a 5-star hotel can’t? Isn’t it very strange? Wifi services were chargeable at RMX.95 per minute. Gosh, can you imagine? Per minute….

Anyways, it was a good stay over, minus the hectic swimming pool experience (oh boy I was tired after all that chasing around) and minus the massage/spa which I wanted to go for but didn’t have time in the end….lazing around and being entertained by the lil’ guy was good enough…

Now, when can I make that facial/massage appt? :P
