** The hotel room rates are typical weekdays rates for 3D/2N twin sharing per person.
There are too many hotels and I cant finish looking through all of them.
It's getting late and I have to go to bed soon.

Hey guys, click the link above. Some of the reefs are closed. And late last week, there was earthquake in indonesia. Its kinda unsafe to go redang now since the water isnt too calm due to the weather. So perhaps for our safety, we postpone this trip to next april? When the weather is better and thesea is more calm? Let me know your comments.
Im thinkin of an alternative trip for this yr end. Cruise? Anyone has been on a cruise? Royal caribbean? Star virgo? I heard there are packages and some do visit/stopover places like kl, phuket, langkawi, penang etc.
Interested??
I will do some research and create a new post. You guys can also find some info and post here.
Kindly comment :)
