I am from the US and I will be coming to Malaysia June 19-June 26. I will be traveling with my girlfriend. I was in KL for ten days a couple of years ago, when I came for a conference, and I really enjoyed it. Now, I am thinking of retirement (I am almost 59). Malaysia made such an impression on me that I am considering retiring here. I want to explore the country a little more. I know that getting around in KL is easy by train. But I am thinking of going to see the east and west coasts--to see what they are like. I love the beach. Can someone give me suggestions of the best way to get to the east and west coast from KL? Is there public transportation from KL to the east and west coasts? What places would you recommend that I see? Is renting a car expensive? What is involved with a car rental in Malaysia?
