I loved the canopy walk but avoided both the caves and the night safari since I am terrified of snakes and most other crawling things. The best thing was the boat rafting which ended in a water fight between the boats leaving everbody soaking wet!Lille frøken prosesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01263280391226623978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-54545640865944997162012-04-21T09:10:02.366-07:002012-04-21T09:10:02.366-07:00Thanks for the link :) TJ & I are just not ad...Thanks for the link :) TJ & I are just not adventurous travelers, I think. Our best vacation was a 10-ish day trip to Hawaii pre-kid. Mostly lazy beach lounging, some sightseeing. I'm so glad I'm married to someone on the same "vacation wavelength" as me. <br /><br />Sounds like you are too. 4 months is amazing. So glad you did that - I admire people who make time for their dreams! There is so much more to life than work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212690454989568626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-23467949929666168692012-04-21T08:45:26.130-07:002012-04-21T08:45:26.130-07:00Thanks for the comments, everyone!
@Zenmoo, I'...Thanks for the comments, everyone!<br /><br />@Zenmoo, I'm glad I didn't know about your water buffalo story back then. It would have ruined my enjoyment of our soak in the river!Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-16249347438298544232012-04-20T23:03:47.530-07:002012-04-20T23:03:47.530-07:00As I tweeted, I went to Taman Negara on a 7th grad...As I tweeted, I went to Taman Negara on a 7th grade school camp (we were living in KL) - I remember the boat ride. Our wildlife experiences were... um, interesting but not necessarily nice. One night a boar came crashing out of the bush and ran around under the restaurant we were eating in. And, after swimming in the river all trip because the hostel didn't have running water in the showers, we went on a boat trip up the river and went past a dead water buffalo with a large monitor lizard climbing over it - tasty. <br /><br />We did go on the hike to a hide at night - I don't recall seeing rats, but we did get the treat of eating cold Pop Tarts. Seriously, it was a treat. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of the trip!Zenmoohttp://zenmastermoo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-59930414808482576862012-04-20T17:14:13.261-07:002012-04-20T17:14:13.261-07:00Sounds and looks beautiful!

The photo of the boat on the river is eerily similar to ones we have in the Amazon.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695509619557410413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-7948274191912263482012-04-20T10:08:29.781-07:002012-04-20T10:08:29.781-07:00What an awesome trip that sounds like!What an awesome trip that sounds like!Gingerhttp://rambleramble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-33900135768337610292012-04-20T09:57:37.069-07:002012-04-20T09:57:37.069-07:00I never had a desire to go to Southeast Asia but t...I never had a desire to go to Southeast Asia but these pictures and your description are making me reconsider!oilandgarlichttp://oilandgarlic.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-5345600993938866102012-04-20T05:12:03.951-07:002012-04-20T05:12:03.951-07:00We went to Malaysia after we finished our PhDs and...We went to Malaysia after we finished our PhDs and before we moved to the US; we have a couple the exact same pictures from Taman Negara ;-)InBabyAttachModehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895094545069682233noreply@blogger.com
