Langkawi

Jeff's work happen to bring him to yet another tropical paradise, this time in Malaysia, and there was no way I was missing out on this trip, especially when he was staying at a Four Seasons resort. It just so happened that his meetings fell prior to the Eid (end of Ramadan) long weekend, so I joined him for a few days of relaxation.

While Jeff was on business, he enjoyed a private beachfront villa - which was amazing, however he was in meetings all day, so didn't get to enjoy many of its incredible facilities. For the weekend, we were still pampered in a spacious suite with a great wraparound veranda, where we escaped to when it poured. I took excessive amounts of photos of the bathrooms, as they were awesome.

Jeff received a recommendation for an off-site restaurant called Bon Ton, which was said to have a great view of the sunset and good local Malaysian food. All I could think about were butter cream pastries - yum. Bon Ton was a really down to earth retreat with 10 restored Malaysian heritage bungalows and a central restaurant. Everyone staying there seemed very comfortable and at home, especially with the fact that they were sharing the property with over 500 cats and dogs - they were everywhere in a cute kind of way. The twist was that Bon Ton was owned and operated by a Vancouver woman and her Australian husband - small world. Dinner was great.

We spent most of our time relaxing by the resort pools and enjoying the incredible service of the Four Seasons staff.

My first night in Langkawi Jeff had to wrap up business with his team, so I enjoyed room service and a beautiful sunset.
