Heidi and I have just finalised plans for our next holiday.<\/p>\n

We originally planned to go the US (including a week-long stay at a dude ranch<\/a>), but then decided that we’d rather have a short relaxing journey somewhere nearby (leaving visiting the US until we have at least a couple of few months free).<\/p>\n

Given that we’ve seen a lot of Thailand and Singapore this year, we figured that we’d try somewhere new in South-east Asia. Bali<\/a> was an early consideration, but we were concerned about how touristy it is meant to be, and about the possibility of a dengue fever outbreak<\/a>. So we opted for Langkawi<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n

It took a few days of planning (tripadvisor<\/a> and Wikitravel<\/a> were invaluable), but I feel that we’ve put together a great holiday for a reasonable budget. It includes: boutique resorts, wooden villas, kelongs<\/a>, a few days in Kuala Lumpur<\/a>, full-recline airplane seats<\/a>, and a whole bunch of cats.<\/p>\n

I searched flickr for a few of the places we are planning to stay at, and the photo indices reassured me that we have made the right choices. Below are some thumbnails from various<\/a> searches<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cats at the Bon Ton Resort<\/a>, which includes an animal shelter and sanctuary<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Add good food to all of the above, and I’m really looking forward to it! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
