Some Highlights of Christmas in KL

We're sure it was tough for Mark and Marta, Daniel, Eli and Micah to leave the comfortable, cold, and snowy weather in the Washington D.C. area -- and for Tasha to leave the cold and rain in Portland -- and to don swimsuits in Malaysia. But it happened! And the rest of the family was so glad they came. One of the highlights for most everyone was the day trip to Sunway Lagoon on the other side of the city. It's a huge water park with something for everyone. Underwater pictures were taken and fun was had by all.
A highlight for the adults was an all-adult dinner at the Chinese restaurant in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel downtown -- thanks to a 1/2 price coupon that Nancy produced (pix posted earlier on our blog).


Of course all first-time visitors to KL need to take the elevator to the top of the KL Tower, and also try to get tickets (which we did after a long wait in line) to the Skybridge in the Petronas Towers. And then, of course, there's the KL Birdpark, the largest covered birdpark in the world, where everyone except Micah was willing to have a "close encounter" with one or more parrots. - rw
