R has some leave coming up in April when the kids are on spring break and we had planned to do something fun together. Originally the plan was to go to Europe, Paris and London, then we changed to Kuala Lumpur and the last few days I have been wondering if its really worth the time and effort to travel that far for so few days. Its a 7 hour flight and although KL is a lovely place Im sort of wondering if the kids wont enjoy it as much if we stay closer to home. For them its all about being together, out of the normal routines at home. Staying at one of the hotels where we have free use of beach club seems a bit boring though as I think we will be spending days there anyway in the build up to summer but I think I finally have the solution. We should be heading to neighbouring Emirate of Fujeirah to spend a night or two at Le Méridien Al Aqah Beach Resort before continuing a bit further north and enter Oman where I also found a lovely hotel (Golden Tulip Dibba) and we can go for a nice cruice and see dolphins in the wild. What do you think?
