Week-end Trip to East Coast - November 8-11


October was ushered-out with Halloween, and it was fun seeing Reeve and Gabi all decked-out in their costumes. All of us took-in a Halloween party at the American Association of Malaysia and enjoyed the food & festive atmosphere in spite of a very warm afternoon.
Shortly after Halloween

it was fun seeing our very good friend from Kenya days, Connie Buford, who was in town representing the State Dep't. at a conference of international school administrators.


On the Nov. 8-11 Deepavali long week-end (Hindu holiday), Nancy and I, along with Doug and Tracy and kids drove across Peninsular Malaysia to the east coast at Kuantan to stay in the Swiss Garden Resort and Spa, right on the South China Sea. Doug and Tracy had booked for 2 nights; Nancy and I stayed for 3. This hotel had fine accommodations and, as usual, an expansive and delicious buffet breakfast each morning was included.




A relaxing time was had by all, and Reevi, Gabi and Rania especially enjoyed alternating between the swimming pool and frolicking in the surf less than 50 yards away. - rw
