Beautiful Start to 2013 @ Pangkor Laut Resort

Hi everyone! Happy 2013!!! I hope you all had a fantastic start to 2013 and that your year will be filled with happiness, good health and good company! Apologies for delayed posting over the holiday period. Hubby and I just returned from our big family reunion in Malaysia. It was just wonderful to get away to somewhere warm, soak up the tropical sun and enjoy the much needed dose of family love. We didn't get to celebrate Christmas with our families in Australia, but this trip sure made up for it =)

We flew into Kuala Lumpur via Abu Dhabi. It was such a long exhaustive flight to KL with a long stop over in Abu Dhabi. Thankfully, we had a good friend who now lives there and showed us around town during our 7hr layover. It was the perfect first taste of the city and I'm sure we'll be back to visit!

We spent quite a few days in KL once we had arrived in Malaysia. A party of 38 in hubby's big family reunion, flew into KL from all over the world, so you can imagine there would be quite a bit to catch up on. We then all headed for this beautiful resort island called Pangkor Laut. I could live there forever!!

It was so wonderful having to wake up to breathtaking views of the sea and the mountain everyday. I looked forward to doing nothing but getting pampered in the spa village, lying on a hammock by the beach and listening to the gentle crash of the waves as I took my afternoon snooze from a "hard day's work." Of course there were also sunset cruises with cocktails to enjoy and a wide variety of fun water activities. I could definitely get used to this life! =P
