Langkawi: May, 2005:
The flight from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi is a normal and routine affair till just before you descend into this idyllic island’s airport !! The breathtaking view from your aircraft overlooking Langkawi Bay, that dazzling blue of the waters below, the mountains, the silvery sands that beckon, fill you with a thrill unmatched by many other similar beach filled places on earth.
One must fall in love with a place so idylic, beautiful, and tranquill, besides having some of the whitest sands and clearest of blue waters around. The Airport itself looks and feels like no other. The drive itself is refreshing, no tall buildings, superb beach front hotels with some having wooden structures on stilts right inside the waters giving a splendid, unhindered view of the sea beyond from the luxurious comforts of your bedroom or balcony.
Langkawi is a must for honeymooners, families, the stressed out executive, a conference, just about any one with a desire to go back to nature.
