Babymoon/Christmas in Langkawi

We wanted to get one last trip in while I could still fly so we decided to go to Langkawi, Malaysia for Christmas.  I wasn't able to do any long flights and this was only an hour away so it was perfect for a long weekend.  After landing at the airport, we got picked up by a BMW to take us to our hotel with a special screen welcoming us which we thought was pretty cool.

Our room was awesome - we got a private pool villa with direct access to the beach.  It had a kitchen, living area and bedroom so there was a ton of space.  On our patio area with the pool, there were loungers as well as a day bed with a fan which kept us cool all day.  The weather was perfect - it was high 80s and didn't rain so we sat outside pretty much all day every day.

When we first arrived, we ordered room service and just left the tray sitting outside.  We quickly learned that wasn't a good idea because monkeys hopped over the wall and went after the leftovers!

 

The hotel had a Christmas buffet with Christmas music which was nice.  They also delivered Christmas cookies to our room which was a nice touch.

 

On Christmas day, we treated ourselves to massages.  I got the Ultimate Pregnancy massage - it was interesting having to lay on my side for the massage since I can't lay on my belly.

Since we were in a private pool villa, we had the option to do a BBQ on our back patio.  They brought the grill and all the food and we cooked it ourselves.  It was a ton of food - we couldn't even finish all of it!  Everything was delicious - it was probably our favorite meal of the trip.

On the last morning, breakfast was being delivered and monkeys were at the front door as it was being dropped off.  As I was eating inside, I noticed they had moved to the back patio and were peering in the window.  Jimmy decided to toss some fruit out to them.  After that, they tried opening the door to get in!  That was definitely a unique experience!

The trip was fantastic and very relaxing.  We're glad we were able to get in one last trip in before the baby arrives - only 10 more weeks!
