2D1N Penang Free and Easy with my Toddler

Having a toddler during travel can be very hectic. This is when my brother came back from overseas and wanted to have a very short and simple family gathering and outing. Time can be really tied up with my toddler wanted to nap and sleep or suddenly delayed because I need to change her diapers because she just pooped! OMG... It is not easy travelling with toddlers as how adults does.

This is my actual plan:
Penang 2D1N free and easy itinerary:

Day 1:
12:00pm - Lunch 
1:30pm - Check in at Hotel in Georgetown
2:30pm - O2O M Mall and Times Square
4:30pm - Armenian street and near by street art
8:00pm - Dinner

Day 2:
10:00am - Breakfast
11:00am - Check out and head to Gurney Paragon
1:00 pm - Lunch
3:00 pm - Entopia by Butterfly Farm
6:00 pm - Strait Quay
8:00pm - Dinner and go home

Eventually most of it didn't happen and we didn't manage to even follow the time scheduled.

This is what happen when I am having my toddler:

5:30 pm - O2O M Mall 
7:30 pm - Gurney Plaza
8:00 pm - Dinner at Miraku at G Hotel
9:30 pm - Very limited and fast window shopping at Gurney Paragon (As all shops start closing at (9:45pm)

Day 2: 
11:00am - Check out and visit New World Park for lunch
1:00pm - Glance(drive) through Armenian street as it was very packed with tourist, we skip this place.
2:30pm - The Lawn by Eco Terrance at Paya Terubong
4:30pm - Entopia by Butterfly Farm at Teluk Bahang
7:00pm - Dinner at Dubuyo (Gurney Paragon)

Reviews for some the places as below:
6) DubuYo Urban Korean Food at Gurney Paragon
7) Tech Dome at Komtar


What I learn from traveling with a toddler:
1) Keep schedule simple, and limit a lot of walking.
2) Try avoid sloppy areas for travel destination as toddlers just like running around!
3) Stay hydrate and keep a spare bottle of drinking water.
4) If going out doors, bring a hat or an umbrella.
5) Avoid going too crowded places
6) If it is nap time, try give toddler a nap before continue next destination.
7) Improvise plans is needed because we can't predict what a toddler can do next. For example, poop and need diaper change, or mess a meal and need a bath!
