I hadn’t flown Malaysia Airlines in a long while. I did this year. I wanted a direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Brisbane. Most other airlines had stopovers. I honestly prefer to fly on my national carrier. But, it threw a few spanners in the works not to endear itself to me. Even before we […]

Flying solo

Do I like travelling solo? Yes and no. My husband and I fly, drive and visit places together, almost always. We are compatible travel buddies.
