we’re back

after spending a few days at the Avillion in Port Dickson 🙂 It took us about an hour to reach PD….I forgot how near PD is.  We arrived at around 11.30am.  Bad mistake because we couldn’t check in earlier than 3pm as Avillion was packed to the brim. There were many people checking out before 12pm.  So, we drove around to look at other resorts and then looked some place for lunch.  We went back to Avillion at around 2 pm and had to queue quite a while to check in.  When our turn came, the chalet was still not ready 🙁

We were offered complimentary cocktails at the bar while waiting for the chalet to be ready.

Our room.  Ashley slept on the bed next to the window because she loves the view of the sea.

On the first day, Ashley couldn’t wait to go to the beach.

Then, she was bored and wanted to go to the play room.  Played Jengga with her for a while.  After that, she was still bored….

and she spotted 2 girls playing with Tumbling Monkeys and she asked if she could join them 🙂  When the game was over, she was STILL bored….

and went to play at the slides.

You know, holidays are supposed to be relaxing and rejuvenating, right? Well, not for us because we have a 5-year old energizer bunny.  I think I need more anti wrinkle cream after this holiday. The next morning, at approx 6.45am, I heard a voice saying, “Cock-a-doodle doo, mommy wake up. Let’s go to the beach“.  I didn’t dare to move and was hoping that ‘the voice’ would go back to sleep.  Nope, that didn’t happen.  After 5 minutes of non-stop grumbling and nagging for us to wake, my head began to spin.  Dragged myself out of bed, got ourselves ready and head out to restaurant for an early breakfast before going to the beach.

More on what we did on Day 2 & 3 tomorrow. Don’t forget to come back 🙂

    You know what, I think Avillion doenst have a nice curtain or blinds to keep the sunlight out. That’s why Ashley got up so early. But we like Avillion in PD.

  18. Mushoomoo says:

    what a lovely place. If I ever get a chance to visit Malaysia, I will definitely try to head over there! Glad you were able to go away for a few days of R&R!

  19. Krystal says:

    haha…the ‘I’m bored’ sounds so familiar…I hear it ever so often from Ryan. At least you’re at a resort, lots of activities 🙂

  20. anggie says:

    nice beach outing, even is in PD , but Avillion always look good, 100x better then the place i stay in cherating … hahhah… i like the bed too …:P

  21. very nice and relaxing place to stay. nevermind lah..I believe you also loves seeing how Ashley has enjoyed herself so much, right?

  22. Adrine says:

    Ha hah…. I laughed out when I read the part about you not moving and hoping the voice will go back to sleep. I sometimes do that too! Most of the time it doesn’t work, but when it does……. *bliss*

  23. Annie Q says:

    Wah..look so much fun! I miss this place!

    Ya, agree with mamapumpkin, should go with friends, then Ashley can play with kids, at least you won’t be so tired. 🙂

    Next time we arrange to go together ok? 🙂

  24. debbie says:

    Everyone is going there & I want to go too……

  25. syn says:

    Oh my, i can so relate to the ‘voices’ all the time….why can’t they just go away hor?!! 🙂

    I’m guessing the remaining days should be more relaxing? At least hubby took away some of the parenting responsibilities? 🙂

  26. dona says:

    so syook!!!!

    good to know that Ashley had a great time!

    kesian mummy, 0645 on a holiday is no fun. been there, done that!

  27. Agnes Loke says:

    Ermm…ever since the existence of Maine, my holidays are never relaxing anymore =.= More like a great workout
