Jeehell,
IIRC, we were direct a vor at first, then cleared (or perhaps "route Kelon") to Kelon, all while in descent to FL 80. Cleared for app I think before we levelled at 80, perhaps after. We stayed level at 80 till at a point where the capt decided he wanted to descent. I advised atc we were leaving 80 for whatever the MSA was (dont have the chart right now). I think atc acknowledged, gave us the altm setting. No further altitudes or clearances given. Probably the next transmission was to contact tower at Kelon
