Planning for a Driving Holiday

We are going on a driving-fishing holiday.  I am now busy working on an itinerary and making reservations for the May-June school holidays for the family.  We are going to drive through Terengganu, stopping at Dungun to stay a night at Auntie Cherry's place, then heading to KT for a day trip before checking into a chalet resort at Pantai Penarik, Setiu for 2 nights.  From Terengganu, we will head for Kota Bharu, more specifically Tumpat to stay at a water chalet at Pantai Seri Tujuh.

We will end the trip taking the East West Highway from Jeli through the Belum Rainforest past Grik onto Kuala Kangsar, staying a night at Tasik Pergau Sanctuary and another somewhere along the Belum area, before heading home.

It is taking a lot of time as the itinerary has changed due to unforeseen circumstances.  It has also caused me a bit of stress, studying the 2 states on the net, the beaches and chalets available, and then calling to make reservations.

However, I am certainly looking forward to this holiday as the last one we had in December to east of Johor was simply wonderful.
