The Longest Time Between Clouds

PENANG-KL-DUBAI-ORLANDO
ORLANDO-DUBAI-KL-PENANG



GoTo Seat on flight.  From Dubai to Orlando we were asked not to use it during taking off and landing, but provided with infant seat belt.  
I thank my decision and intuition to buy GoTo Seat before our trip and the use of wheelchair. 
Found a suitable bag to carry our precious GotoSeat for Giriesha- a laundry drawstring bag.  Perfect fit. Tq Lazada ❤
The use of her wheelchair (WC)  helped us to get lots of priority before boarding and arrival.  

Frm Pen-KL,  MAS allowed us to use our own WC till boarding gate. We took out the seats and kept in a canvas bag. However upon arrival in KLIA,  only the WC frame handed over to us without the seats.  When they checked,  it was sent to the conveyor with other luggages.   This happened for a reason,  a buggy then was called immediately to send five of us all the way from the arrival gate to baggage claim area. It was chilly and nice experience to go on a buggy with all our loads.  
In Emirates Economy Class
In KLIA, before boarding Emirates,  WC was not allowed  on board,  so they suggested to place it in a cargo and to be collected straight in Orlando.  
At KLIA,  WC and parts in big plastic bag before sent to cargo
Instead they suggested to use MacLaren stroller at Dubai provided by Emirates.  We agreed.  However,  Giriesha was too tall for that stroller!!
Aiyo,  so low lar this stroller for Giriesha!!
 I got to thank my SIL Ruthera for suggesting me to use my GoToSeat if at all I need to use a normal WC when we met a day before❤. That idea helped me a lot in Dubai Airport.  Though we spent time waiting an hour for a wheelchair,  it actually happened for a great reason too.  
An airport staff came with a WC. There you can't use airport WC on your own,  it must accompanied by an airport staff.  We fixed our GoToSeat.  Voila!  
Che Waa... Someone on the move non stop. Luckily we had Goto Seat!! 
This staff was incredible. He guided us through special lanes all the way to our next gate. He told me it's a long way to our gate. True enough,  we would have been lost in that huge building while finding our way out to the next gate if we were to use a stroller!  
At last,  yeay we are being escorted to the next gate at Dubai International Airport.
He sent us first to a special lounge dedicated for travellers with special needs by Emirates.   And there we felt like VIPs, to get some rest and freshen up. Then again another new staff came to take us to our departure gate till boarding!   I don't remember waiting at any point in Dubai airport except for a mini interview by US authority.
Fuyoo!  Someone watching movie with earphones
