Yes.....we are going to Langkawi again. After considering time, cost, facilities and activities.....we decided Langkawi is still the best place for us to go...Perhentian, Redang and Tioman cost a bit more and its really good if u do diving / snorkeling and i for one, don't do neither one of them, so...Langkawi it is.
For now the plan is on the 19th of April 2010. We went to Matta fair on the 13th March and manage to find the same travel agency which we used last year...Pangsajaya. Since their service is sufficient for us, we decided to use them again but this time we took 2 packages. Why?...well because my hubby and i felt that 3D and 2N is too short, so this year, we took 5D and 4N. So instead of extending nights in one hotel, we decided to take 2 hotels package. (cost wise, its almost the same as extending...) and we have to pay extra for car rental...and breakfast....so another package is much cheaper.
So, this time we are going to stay first at Kg Tok Senik, which is in the centre of Langkawi. It is a resort with village style of architecture. (I'll post some photos later). We'll be staying there for 3D2N starting on the 19th and check out on the 21st noon and after that, we'll check in Federal Villa (again.....heheheheh...coz its a nice place to stay...really...well for us its nice for that price) and check out on the 23rd and fly back home on the same night.
This 2 packages consist of the usual car and Island hoping each, but the car is only for 1 day for each package and not the whole trip like last time. So we manage to nego. with the agent and get the car for the whole trip minus the island hoping, besides, if we decided to do the Island hoping, we can still do it by buying the package at the jetty. So for now, no Island hoping, we did it last year anyway.
This year we are thinking of doing the 'mangrove ride'. We saw some interesting packages in the internet. The place is called 'Kilim Geoforest Park'. The package includes boat ride thru the river,3 caves visits, stopping for a swim at Pantai Pasir Panjang, see eagle feeding and even lunch/dinner. Nice isn't it? The only thing that is making us still thinking about it is the price....heheheheh...RM180 per person so that will be RM360 for both of us and that is a lot for now....hehehehe...so hopefully we have some extra ( not sure how to get the extra...) and can afford this package.
Well, thats the introduction for now. We'll be seeing again after the trip....huhuhu...
