Marking the beginning of the festive season, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu hosted the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony held in the Lobby Lounge. Hyatt Regency Kinabalu unveiled its Christmas theme for this year, “Invoke your Christmas Childhood Memories at Hyatt Regency Kinabalu” – to commemorate the yesteryear Christmases celebrated at our hotel for the past 40 years.

Hyatt Regency Kinabalu’s associates, restaurant diners, in-house guests and media friends were in attendance to witness the Christmas tree lighting ceremony. The ceremony began with a lovely speech by the hotel’s General Manager, Thor Gervasi, followed by the official lighting of the Christmas tree, a well-loved tradition.  

The hotel lobby was transformed into a wonderland with a 12-foot Christmas tree featuring plants such as poinsettia, lemon cypress and snow-white pine tree arranged around the tree accompanied by spectacular fairy lights and a star. 

The hotel also showcased a gingerbread house at The Lounge, snowman and Christmas tree made out from recycled tires at car porch area and the hotel lobby, and various green and red-themed decorations to exhibit the spirit of the festive season. 

Setiap orang punya pengalaman travel yang berbeza dan tak boleh nafikan setiap pengalaman tu amat berguna untuk kita ambil dan cuba untuk praktikkan. Sebab daripada pengalaman orang, kita boleh jadikan panduan untuk kita pula. Dan setiap orang banyak ragamnya juga. Ada antara kita yang lebih selesa travel sorang-sorang sebab lebih mudah tak perlu nak fikirkan pasal orang lain. Kita boleh planning semua ikut yang kita suka tanpa memikirkan apa pula pandangan orang lain. 

Selain itu ada juga orang yang suka travel dalam kumpulan. Bestnya travel in group ni sebenarnya ia lebih menjimatkan sebab banyak benda yang kita boleh sharing. Sebagai contoh kalau travel berempat, duit transport kita boleh divide 4, duit makan pun sama dan banyak lah lagi. Namun, masalahnya travel ramai-ramai ni, banyak ragam yang nak kena fikir dan juga banyak pendapat yang kena dipertimbangkan. Jadi apa kata kita cuba travel berdua pula lepas ni.

Untuk kita yang nak travel berdua, benda yang paling penting adalah pilihlah kawan ataupun pasangan yang betul-betul kita selesa. Hal ini bagi memastikan percutian kita nanti tu tidaklah terlalu complicated. Aku tak nafikan kalau kita silap pilih kawan, memang akan susahlah nanti nak buat keputusan sebab kita taka da kata putus yang ketiga untuk backup. Tak tahu pendapat siapa yang lebih sesuai digunakan nanti. So, jangan silap pilih kawan tau. Aku nak share lah sikit beberapa perkara yang menjadikan travel berdua ni lebih baik daripada travel solo ataupun berkumpulan kalau kita dapat pilih partner yang baik.

Jimat Transport

Transport ni aku refer daripada A to Z, iaitu transport daripada nak ke airport sampailah transport kita nak gunakan dekat tempat yang kita pergi tu juga. Kalau travel berdua ni, aku lebih prefer untuk gunakan public transport yang ada sebab lagi jimat. Pertamanya, kalau nak airport transfer, aku lebih prefer guna KLIA Express dan aku akan beli KLIA Ekspres Tickets ni guna Traveloka. Sebabnya kalau beli dekat Traveloka ni, kita boleh jimat dalam lebih kurang RM12 seorang daripada kita beli dekat kaunter. KLIA Express ni sebenarnya sangat selesa untuk kita even kita bawa luggage sekalipun. Namun, kalau korang tak suka nak angkut luggage, boleh lah try Airport Limo atau mana-mana transport yang lain. Selain itu, aku memang akan suka cari tempat yang ada akses bas ataupun train sebab suka untuk rasa pengalaman naik bas dan train di tempat orang pula. Nak cuba compare kan dengan Malaysia pula.

Jimat Luggage 

Kalau lelaki ni, senang sebab ramai yang suka backpack je. Tetapi perempuan ni banyak sangat barang yang nak bawa, tu yang rasa perlu untuk beli luggage. Kalau naik airline yang kena add-on luggage, sebenarnya kita boleh je buat sorang je beli luggage tu. So, lagi jimat nanti divide je 2 harga. Tak perlulah kalau travel berdua ni, dua-dua nak beli sebab nanti mesti berlebih punya. Aku yakin beg sorang takdelah sampai lebih 20kg. Kalau tak yakin nak amik 20kg, beli yang 25kg atau 30kg pun tetap lagi jimat untuk sorang je beli.

Penginapan

Aku paling suka travel berdua ni, senang sangat nak handle penginapan. Kita boleh je cari mana-mana hotel yang rasa selesa tetapi harga masih berbaloi untuk kita duduk nanti. Kalau travel ramai ni leceh, sebab kita kalau boleh mesti nak duduk sekali dengan kawan-kawan kita, so pilihan jimat yang ada adalah hostel. Aku kurang suka hostel ni, cuma satu je sebab toilet dia kena sharing dengan orang lain. Kalau berdua mungkin kos akan mahal sikit tetapi kita akan dapat keselesaan yang kita nak lah.

Ni antara benda yang aku rasa travel berdua lebih best dan memudahkan. Kosnya tidaklah terlalu jimat macam travel dalam group tetapi ia tidaklah juga terlalu mahal sebab ada benda yang kita still boleh share dengan partner kita.
