A wonderful spring day!

Tony and I walked around Shanghai on Saturday for 3 1/2 hours! The weather seems to have turned the corner and hopefully now we will see sunshine and warm weather in the days and months to follow! We had a nice lunch sitting outdoors at the Park Tavern and then explored new digs in the French Concession area of downtown Shanghai. When Tony said that he really liked the area we were exploring I mentioned that the area is called the French Concession. He suggested that I not tell him that because knowing it's "French" ruins it for him!

Langkawi, Malaysia

In 2 weeks we will be heading out for a week vacation in Langkawi, Malaysia! Here is a little bit about the area.

One of only four inhabited islands in an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea, Langkawi is a nature-lover’s dream – relished for its equatorial climate, tropical flora and fauna, and clear emerald waters. Two-thirds of the island’s dramatic mountainous landscape is covered with rainforest, while vibrant coral reefs lie just off shore.

Once a haven for pirates, Langkawi’s intriguing cultural and ethnic diversity can be traced back to its days as a centre for Chinese, Indian and Arab traders. And, in a spectacular setting on Langkawi’s northern cape, Four Seasons Resort Langkawi offers easy access to discoveries on land and at sea, from bird watching, snorkelling and diving to jungle trekking, golf and island-hopping tours.

I just can't wait!!!!
