Drive to KL

[Hellotherethere]

Anyone has recommendation for good stopover? Road trip with 2 kids.

 

[FinchGuy]

Machap rest stop, then the one after Ayer Keroh exit. Toilets further apart after that.

 

[Hellotherethere]

Possible to just stop at the Ayer keroh? Is the pitstop big?

dunno why you want to do that? it's very boring drive
anyway checkout the plus expressway map, useful for distance between towns, R&R ...

Minimise disruptions cos of the attention span of the kids. If not, we will only get there at night. Lol

i suggest u just go and keep checking if the kids need food or a toilet break.

the best if they can fall asleep in the car.

look for the signs on the highway. R&R and then they will show the fork and knife icon for food.

one of the things i enjoyed doing when i was young was exploring the different rest stops. my favourite is this one with otak otak. usually what i eat in malaysia is pretty standard at rest stops.... if hungry, nasi goreng ayam, not too hungry, mee rebus/mee siam, and a ramlee burger if they have.... oh and pack currypuff. crap... hungry!

i also prefer those rest stops which are not "main stream" where they cater for tour buses.

Reminder: do not leave anything on seats when you leave the car! In KL, carry handbags on side away from traffic to minimise risk of snatch theft.

 

[Hellotherethere]

Appreciate all the guidances.

 

[shimin1214]

from jb to kl the big rnr are machap,pagoh,ayer keroh,seremban, alot of food stall and petrol station.

 

[prisleongsing]

Totally possible and could be fun with some friends. Pack your bag with food and it'll be fun!

 

[sendhalp]

Any handbag/laptop bag, put in the boot. Don’t put on the passenger seats, avoid getting car-break in.

Park in visible places

Don’t be too flashy

Have fun!

Your biggest concern will the traffic crossing into Johor, especially during weekends.

 

[Hellotherethere]

Going on a Friday morning. Should be able to avoid most of the traffic I hope

dun need to plan, just stop whenever needed.....plenty of R&R

KL is a pain

above is my experience when travelling with toddler



if alone no need plan ....just hoot all the way KL w/o stop unless urgent
