Ever since my son and my daughter started working abroad a few years back, my wife and I toyed with the idea of having a big family holiday overseas together every two years. However, Covid-19 happened and threw a spanner into our plans, at least for about three years.
When travel restrictions were lifted, our son, who lives in England, decided to book for all of us a cruise from Southampton to the Caribbean in January this year. My wife and I flew from Penang to London, whereas my daughter flew from Perth, Australia to join my son and his fiancée.
