Well, not exactly ... But just two days after I arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Nancy and I got on an Air Asia plane for a one-hour flight to Langkawi for three nights and a part of four days in Malaysia's premier beach resort. (It was the Hari Raya holiday celebrating the end of Ramadan) We rented a car and stayed at a small and moderately priced resort on the beach where the food was excellent and the sunsets spectacular.
Since we didn't need to rely on taxis, we put our rental car to good use driving around the island where we stopped to see Langkawi Falls and scoped-out some of the high-end resorts on the north coast. Also on our first full day we plunked-down our 30 ringgit ($8.60) to ride the Langkawi cable car to the top of a peak to take-in some impressive views. 
Other highlights of the trip included a visit to a huge and impressive Craft Complex which featured batiks, jewelry, woodcarvings and a host of other locally-made crafts. On our last full day in Langkawi we signed-on for an "island hopping tour" in a small motor boat that seated 10-11 people and consumed about three hours taking us to three different locations where, in order, we hiked to a fresh-water lake to swim, visited a bay to watch eagles feeding, and landed on another beach where we could swim and/or relax. - rw

I'm wondering what beautiful piece you got in the Crafts center. I'm sure you found something to add to your collection of treasures.
Glad you had such a great trip.
