Probably a fly drive holiday in northern Spain and Portugal visiting the OH's family. We tend to go on our hols early September as the schools are back so it's usually cheaper, not so busy and a bit cooler.

I take it "KL" stands for Kuala Lumpa (sp?). Who on Earth would want to go there for a holiday, or to Langkawi for that matter?Originally posted by sasguru View PostSo going for a nice break to KL and Langkawi in July. First long haul in 4 years
