We took this trip to Langkawi and Kuala Lumpur in September 2008. While Glenna and I had been to Malaysia before, it was our first time going together and our first time visiting the island of Langkawi. We were living in Saudi Arabia at the time and wanted a beach vacation, and several people recommended Langkawi. It is a quiet island famous for its beaches, mountains, forests, wildlife, sky bridge, cable car, and parks. It has a population of about 70,000

In Langkawi, we stayed at the Berjaya Beach and Resort. It was in the middle of the jungle, right on the beach.

In a park-like setting with manicured sidewalks and grounds

Some of the hotel cabins were right over the water, but we loved being tucked back into the trees and still have a view of the ocean

There were also several rivers where we could kayak

We were watched the whole time we were there.

Our room nestled in the jungle

Except for the birds, it was very peaceful and quiet

There were very few guests at the beach while we were there
