On 22nd June 2014 which is last Saturday, my family (mertua) and I went to Langkawi for a short trip since last week was the final week before Ramadhan and because my mother-in-law wish to bring my brother-in-law who is currently having a summer break. However, we went there separately since my husband and I wish to continue from Langkawi to Penang so we drive to Kuala Kedah. It took us about 6 hours to reach Jeti Kuala Kedah from Seremban, my hometown including a short stop at R&R for Subuh and breakfast at a speed of 140km/hour :p
Once entering the main road of Kuala Kedah, lots of 'agent' (pak cik pak cik riding motorcycle) knocking on your window to ask where would you like to go and trying hard to persuade you to follow them. Well as for us, we park exactly opposite to the Jeti where there is a limited parking lot with price of RM15 per night. It is gated and guarded and insyaAllah safe. But in order for you to park there, make sure to come early because when we arrived at 11 a.m, there is only one left and already booked. But it doesn't mean you can't follow and park at those pak cik's places it is just that I heard they might putar belit on the price you need to pay and it is a bit hassle since you need them to take and fetch you to and from the Jeti later on.
The journey continues with 1 hour 30 minutes in ferry heading to Pulau Langkawi. Make sure to catch the ferry on time as the next ferry will only be in another an hour and half. The ticket price for adult is RM23 one way/sehala and so we paid RM46 just for the two of us. For more information on the ferry fares and places please visit:
Upon arrival you will then again be approached by pak cik pak cik but this time for car rental. Since our family consist of 7 family members, Toyota Avanza 2.0 has been picked and cost us RM100 per night. Ensure to check the car condition before you take the car and taking pictures of it is not a bad idea after all because our car has been stopped by police since one of the light is broken. Luckily the saman goes to the owner of the car and we have pictures to prove we are 'clean' :p Well anyway, down here is the list of price for your reference:

It is nice to go for a holiday once in a while and we as Muslim are encouraged to explore Allah's world to see for ourselves His greatest creation and be grateful upon His mercy. And since Islam is not to burden us, there's rukhsah to be followed, visit this website for more detail info on solat jamak qasar:
