We are going for Umrah this December insyaAllah

We have decided to do umrah this December. The offer was given to us last Aidul Fitri. This affordable package and the good timing durng school holiday days seems perfect for our family. It took us a few weeks to say yes we are going. We extended the invitation to my sister and she also said yes.

In August preparation for travelling documents started. What is required were international passport, visa size photo, birth certificate copy certified by JPN for children and marriage certificate certified cooy by Jakim. Together with rm1000 deposit we submitted everything to organizer.

Alhamdulillah we had a taklimat by Abang Aziz and wife at our home. Eventhough it was conducted in just a couple of hours we had our first feeling of excitement and an over whelming feeling of happiness of being selected and called for umrah in Mekah.

Individual sessions was given to Ilham, Hazem and Kak Long by myself on key expectations for the umrah from my own umrah and haji experiences.

End of August, we started to put things together for the trip. Ihram, slippers, jubah and pants are essential for the boys. Jubah, socks and slacks were fitted for us ladies.
