Summer 1998: The Smith family are in Australia, tanned and relaxed from their recent week in Malaysia and are ready to head back there after a couple of weeks touring the Oz. The itinerary for the holiday, without dates because I can't remember that far back, was as follows:
July 1998: Fly from London to Kuala Lumpur, then from Kuala Lumpur to Penang. Book into the Golden Sands hotel for a week and spend said week lazing around on the beach, swimming in the awesome pools, using the neighbouring hotel's better facilities (it was 5 star, we were 4), and experiencing the hustle and bustle of Malaysian markets.
After said week, fly from Penang to Kuala Lumpur and then to Sydney. Spend some time with Australian family, doing such things as barbecues (barbies), bowling, and seeing red-back spiders. Then drive around Australia for a couple of weeks, going to Canberra, Melbourne, Windsor, the Blue Mountains, and the Jenolan Caves (probably not in that order).
August 1998: Fly from Sydney back to Kuala Lumpur, then to Langkawi. Spend another week in beautiful Malaysia, this time however staying in two hotels (I can't remember whether that was planned originally). We also had an underwater camera which provided hours of entertainment!
August 2009: I (formerly Chris Smith) find photographs of the aforementioned holiday, and upload them to Facebook for everyone to see, Matthew and Lewis Smith in particular (my then-stepbrothers I recently reestablished contact with).
The pictures below are my personal favourites from the two albums worth we took during the trip. The quality isn't too great; the film was cheap to begin with, and transferring them to the computer via my phone's camera didn't help any. But they're still nice to look at:
