we stopped over in lankawi last year and will do the same next month, it was a great 3 day break just to chill on the beach,lovely hotels and very cheap. its 3.30 a.m , i'm on night duty thinking not many shifts left, the beach pool and bar seem very appealing right now.

Been sorting out my little man.... hes got a stinking cold bless him. You know how unhappy kids are when theyre poorly. Hopefully he'll have a nap now.

Having a boring day.... OH is on call so we cant really go far.... only popped out this morning to pick up some firewood for the log burner or we're gonna be cold this evening!

I should think about packing soon but we all got colds so not much work being done Im afraid. Getting really fed up now in this rental.... landlord keeps popping round to do stuff that Im sure they could do AFTER we have moved out. Ive been a landlord now for a few years and I wouldnt dream of going round to the house until the tenant had moved out and before the next one had moved in.... its been happening all week.... first him sending the gardeners round to do stuff and now them popping around too.. roll on 2 weeks time and we'll be out!!

The cheeky bleeder,that is rude,nosey and intrusive. What you need to do is smack him hard on both cheeks,tango style if possible,and tell him if he does it one more time in the next fortnight you'll torch all his properties. A little excessive,I know,but it's all they listen to.

Really sorry bout the house-it really is a git. Can't believe how common a problem it is talking to people on here.We might have the same problem reets,but we have a cat,bit more independent,will settle anywhere as long as there's food.Living in rented accom now,so we just waiting for the nod.
Believe we have a rented property waiting in Well,Kelburn I think.Just want to get it on now.

We stopped over in KL. We stayed at the Pan Pacific Hotel which is connected to the airport. The hotel was possibly one of the best that we have stayed in. We went into KL itself which is a bustling city. We saw the Petronas Towers which I believe are the tallest in the world.All in all our experience was a good one and would do it again. We only stayed for 2 days and 1 night and could have probably done with 1 more but was too excited to get to NZ. Good luck

Hi stop over we went out in Dec last year with 11yr old and 7 yr old and stopped over in Malaysia at Pan pacific hotel at the airport beautiful hotel glad we didn't stay in K L itself we stopped over for 1 night and 2 days glad we did it was great to stop sleep in a bed and sit by the pool and re charge. We arrived in N Z refreshed and didn't suffer from jet lag. Will do the same when we emmigrate in a few months time.
Take care Paula
