that sounds great.
hope this is a perfect time for you - and the start of a lifetime of friendship x o xx
our plans, well, the last o/s trip before the kids leave home to show them a bit more of the world and not send them out 'green' if you know what I mean.
Melb - KL for about 10 days or so - mostly KL, Redang Island (East Coast) and West coast if we can fit it in then
bus to Singapore for about 3-4 days I have to keep that bit brief because I get the impression Singapore is not as cheap as it was when I was last there and I have a 15yo shopoholic on board then
Air Asia to our beautiful Bali for about 10 days I imagine
Air Asia back to KL for a sleepover or two
then back home.
So far, looking at hostel accom in KL - 3*** private double/twin rooms with ensuite & breakfast - day tripping KL
Can get tours to Redang Island (or similar) for about 3-4 days including accom/all grub/snorkelling trips etc.
Bus to Singapore - looking for smallish hotel with pool and views but not really getting anywhere - have a 15yo & a 42yo both with a fear of heights and anything tall a plane can target...
Jurong Bird Park Little India etc.
Bali - Inmyblood saw a joint at Legian in a 3*** hotel that included a 3 bdrm villa for about 7 days - can't remember the name but have it shomewhere. Take the girls to all the usual Bali stuff - then 3 nights at Villa Kubu - our absolute fav would like to squeeze in at least a couple of nights at NL but don't want to constantly packing & moving - need time to simply chill
Then back to KL & home.
Old coin has been really helpful with the Malaysia leg. Eric, if you're reading this - One Gold Star to you!
As our girls will be 16 & 14 by then, they will be classed as adults and the prices that go with that we all want two seperate rooms the whole way so can't go the usual 4**** and I would rather look at the cheaper options for accom & inter country travel and have the full trip, than miss out on including all the places I/we want to go to.
I reckon you pay enough to get there, you may as well stay and have a good look around.
God I'm worn out just thinking it all - looking for about this time next year if I can save enough by then....
Cheers
