Langkawi

On December 12th, 2008 I flew to Langkawi! I was scared that I would throw up in the plane again but my parents said, " it's only a 1 hour flight. It won't be long." I tried not to throw up and it worked! Then, I noticed that we had arrived at Langkawi! On my way out I saw Alister, a boy from school in the plane! I noticed that when I got out of the plane I was outside, not inside the building!

Then we drove to the hotel called the Hotel Villa. We were hungry so we
ate at the hotel first. The noodle I ate was hot and delicious. After, we went out driving to see the stores and restaurants we wanted to go to. I wanted to go to the Go Cart track and drive a car. At first the attendants at the track said that I was too short to drive so my dad and I went to try it out, to see if I could reach the pedals. .I was hoping I could but I was also shaking a bit. I reached them okay. Swoosh! There I go. Suddenly. Smash! I crashed into the wall. I didn't feel scared so I pushed the Go Cart back on the road. I learned to always speed up when you turn.

There wasn't m
uch to do after so we headed back to the hotel and rested for a while. I hoped there's was lots to do on our 4 day vacation. I wanted to go to the beach, so my brothers followed me. We had so much fun. We were making sandcastles but the water kept destroying them, so we dug this circle around it so the water would go into the hole. After, we walked back home, all sandy and wet. Then we drove to Pekan Kuah. Pekan Kuah is where the hospitals, the mall, the restaurants, and places where you could play. I ate at this place called Jai Island Cafe. I ate noodles, it was fantastic! There was big menu's that had western, malay, and thai food. The food there was so delicious that we went back another day.

The next day we came back to Pekan Kuah and rode the Cable Car. We had to wait so long and finally got to ride it. We rode all the way to the top of the mountain, I think we were 700m above sea level. We were so high that the wind was blowing my hair back. Then we took a break. After that we rode back to where we started. Then we ate lunch ate KFC. KFC had a ocean view and there were lots of boats but it was too hot to stay outside. Finally we drove back to the hotel and took a rest.

On the third day I went to the pool. It was pretty deep at one end but the rest of the pool was up to my neck. The pool also had a bar in it. I love those kinds of bars because you can just order in the pool instead of getting out and ordering, but I didn't want anything. I wanted to bring my baby brother Adam with me but he was still sleeping. Then I walked back to our room and got ready to go out.
We went shopping after. My mom loves the stores here because the shops are duty free, which means you don't have to pay any tax. After that we went Island hopping. The boat was going so fast I thought I was going to fall, I was hugging my mom so hard I didn't want to let go until we stopped. We hopped to this island where there were so many monkeys running around. I noticed that there were big stairs. As I kept walking it got smaller and I got more tired. There were too many stairs. Finally we made it to the end! I wanted to ride on this boat where you have to paddle like a bike and use a gear to move it. I was paddling with my dad. I even saw that two of my brothers fell out of the canoe! We headed back to the boat at 12:00. The boat took us to where the eagles were flying. The guy who was driving the boat said that there was chicken in the ocean. The eagles were big and beautiful. The guy showed us this island shaped like a person lying down. Then we hoped to another island but we didn't want to go on it so we went back to where we came from. After that we ended the day after eating dinner.

The last day. We went to the Under Water World. There were so much fishes and sharks. I even found the longest fish and the most dangerous fishes
in the world. Since the Zone was beside the Aquarium we bought a bag and looked around the place. We already checked out and we had until 9:30pm before the plane leaves. So we parked at the hotel and packed all the candy and food we bought and put it in the new bag. After, we drove back to Pekan Kuah and my mom bought some things. We noticed that it was already 8:00 so we had to drive to the airport and return the car. We had to wait a while. Finally were walking again. Even thought it was night time we still had to go in from outside. Thenwe finally flew back home to KL and took a rest.
