Malaysia - TRULY Asia!

Unable to bear the cold any longer, the Jacobsen clan headed for Marvelous Malaysia (our new favourite hot spot, next to Thailand - literally!). We had a glorious time . . . and from the pictures below you can see that we spent most of it in the water. It took Angelica a few minutes to get used to it, but after a week and a half of swimming everyday, she became a little beach bum!

The Frangipani's dining room . . . we enjoyed the oceanscape every morning during breakfast.

Angelica's first dip in the ocean in Langkawi. As you can see, while we dined on fine Malaysian cuisine, the mosquitos feasted on the appetizing Angelica. She had over 35 bites on her face alone. When they were finished with her, she looked like a pepperoni pizza.



Angelica got to experience her first trip to an aquarium. She loved the petting tanks best!

As you can see, my daughter is quite modest!

Glenn and I love our life. We feel so fortunate to have been able to see the world - Asia will always have a special place in our hearts.

I love the shot on the beach - Glenn looks so hairy compared to fair Angelica. Mind you I would never have thought of Glenn as hairy.

Beautiful pics, what a great break! Glad you were able to tell me about it on Skype a week ago, Karen! It was so nice to talk with you!
