School holiday starts!

By this time tomorrow, I will be midair enroute to Stockholm for a family visit. I have a sibling based there who has been going through a rough patch for the past few years.

I decided to book my flights early this year. Not that I can do much but I can show up to provide emotional and mental support.

It had been nine years since I last taken a long haul flight to Europe and this will be the first overseas travel with my child without the husband!

Packing was a chore. Besides a suitcase of Bak Kut Teh packs, laksa paste and kaya, clothes proved challenging.

I know it is summer and people are in shorts but 10 to 20 degrees is still cold to me. The last time I visited, temperature dropped under 10 and I only had shorts and sleeveless tops with me. How can I strike a balance with summer looking outfits that can keep my child and I warm this time?

I am sure this will be an experience and I will survive this. Looking forward for my child to hang out with his cousins and me with my sister soon!
