Setting Off

Finally, the packing was done. But not before realising that a few things were amiss - such as my pants. That meant a stop in Gombak before setting off proper.

We finally rearranged the seating in the MPV - losing the last row and pushing back the middle row - into a four seat configuration. The boys actually ended up sleeping on the floor!

The journey back to Penang was a smooth one, although the stops were still pretty packed. We decided against making any pit stops, a straight drive to Penang, via the new bridge. We were already at the hotel by 3.30.

The room was already ready, and before we knew it, we were already unpacking. More about the rooms later ...

Holiday was Sorted

For the after EId break this year, we would be going back to Penang. But this time, rather than staying with the relatives, we decided to lay low and stay at a hotel in town. We decided to spend most of the time indoors - if there such a thing.

The initial plan was to get a room at Batu Feringghi, at one of the beach resorts. But while browsing, Anita discovered a converted old Colonial mansion which was now a hotel. No arguments. We did the booking this afternoon ....

If would be smack in the middle of Georgetown. I have never been to this hotel before, so hopefully the hype were true .... Fingers crossed!
