Faith’s First Overseas Trip

We planned to bring her for her first overseas trip last year but it did not succeed due to many issues! This time, we grabbed the opportunity and we are heading to Bintan FINALLY… Before heading to Bintan, I called to check if we can upgrade our room and managed to have it upgraded to a suite room at a good special rate of SD90 nett.

This morning, we rushed out to run our errands and left for the jetty to Bintan. It was certainly exciting for us as it’s our first official family trip but at the same time, we were worried if Faith will be bored or cranky due to unfamiliar environment.

When we arrived at the hotel just passed their lunch time, we headed to have our light lunch as our room was not ready. The weather wasn’t at our side as it started to drizzle during our luncheon.

As usual, little Faith is curious about her surroundings and wanted to move about to check out everything including the ants on the table! She finally sat down when our food arrived though she only could take a few small bites from roast chicken quesadillas.








Our room was ready not long after our lunch and we were happy with the suite. It was pretty big with a separate living and bed room. There were 2 balconies and the bathroom was huge. Faith was really happy to have such a big space to run around. She was exploring the room from hall to the sofa, the bedroom to the bathroom… super busy little lady!




The weather was not good at all and we decided to stay in door to get some good beauty sleep before heading for early dinner. It was quite difficult for us to get her to sleep as she was really curious about the new environment. After an hour of entertaining her, she finally fell asleep.

We went to have our dinner at the Japanese Restaurant in Bintan Lagoon and it was not crowded at all compared to their main café. We ordered teppanyaki set and our little one was totally unhappy as she has nothing to eat. Then we have to order the toufu for her to keep her quiet… super headache!

We wanted to bring her to the beach for a walk but it was too dark… and so, we walked around the poolside instead and went back to the room to call it a night.
