While others may be planning for a long year-end holiday, hubby and I are just planning a 2-night stay in Penang island.
The main purpose of the trip is to attend a friend’s wedding on Christmas night. Of course, we will also take this as a short Christmas holiday, and a revisit to a place where we had lived for 2 years. Knowing that it will be a super peak holiday season, I have quickly made room reservations in two different hotels - the Eastin Hotel located next to Queensbay Mall (just officially opened 10 days ago) for the first night, and Hydro Majesty located at Batu Ferringhi for the second.
You see, this is the benefit of holidaying in our own country. Cuti-cuti Malaysia! 
We know the whereabouts, we can make our own hotel reservation, we can go anywhere on our own. That’s the fun of traveling actually, being able to schedule the destinations and do things on our own pace. Of course, if we were to holiday in Las Vegas, we would definitely sign up one of those las vegas packages.
Why are we staying in two different hotels? Well, the first night is our friend’s wedding banquet, the hotel is just next door away, so hubby won’t have to drive even if he gets drunk, haha! At the same time, hubby wants to chill out at the beach town, that’s why we will check into a beach hotel the second day. It’s seems a bit troublesome, but again, that’s the fun of it.
Luckily the island isn’t that big, there’s never a problem of traveling from one end of the island to the other. One can never get lost there, haha!
