Hi CL,
oh dear, you must feel so sian... really hope the person who picked up your stuff returns it back to you.
Cookie,
yup with wenyl's family and my parents as well... we are staying at Hilton coz we managed to get 50% off their normal room rates and the place is nice with kids facilities. Im planning our iternary now, so far have planned a boat cruise which includes mangrove and monkey watching, fish farm tour and swimming on a deserted beach for half a day. Also planning to bring the kids to Dino park and maybe the underwater world. The rest of the time will be lazing by the pool or beach, since Hilton got 3 pools and definitely eating haha! Also will do Patong at night and that's about it. I normally do quite a bit of research before we go on trips, so will let you know where are the good makan places and things to do after we come back.
Get a hotel that is kid friendly and I think you will have fun this time....
