Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia

Okay, so I know you’re going to think this is crazy (since we are already on vacation), but we both were in need of a getaway. We’re becoming weary of traveling from city to city and country to country so we decided to go to a resort for a few days. We traveled to Jerejak Resort and Spa right off the coast of Georgetown so it wasn’t far at all. Luckily it didn’t break our budget at all – we got a hilltop chalet plus meals included for only $26 per person!
