Here's my Reply to whizforty's "Are we doing it right???".
Your fireflies tour will be at Kuala Selangor... abt 2hrs drive away fr. K.L. ... there's 2 there... one at Kampung Kuantan, one at Kampung Belimbing.
As for day 2... the attractions... u might wanna read up a little abt them fr the internet and c if they do interest u and if they r very out of town will they be worth the travelling time etc.. As for shopping... in KL... u'll need at the least 1 FULL day!!!! loads of malls at Bukit Bintang and a couple at Bandaraya... u'll need stamina i tell ya!
as for day 3
FRIM, if I'm not wrong is rather out of town... they have a website u can chk out... just get it fr a search engine... wonder if it's economical/convenient to reach it without a car... if u'r gonna get a cab u had better chk with FRIM how much will the ride to n fro cost approx... n if u shld go by the meter or pay a flat fee... alright.
I heard Mid Valley Mall offers free shuttle services fr. Kl... do do a search to its website n find out the times n pick up points!... heard it's HUUGE thus u might spend quite a lot of time there...
P.S.: Chinatown/Petaling St. night market... go only if u want to purchase Imitation Goods... and u'll probably have to bargain down the stated prices by 40-60%! Otherwise u can give it a miss i feel. nof offence to die-hard fans of Petaling St. :) Here's my Reply to whizforty's "Are we doing it right???".

I went for the Kampung Belimbing and was amazed... I would recommend u to visit Taman Alam (Kuala Selangor's Nature Park) and take a walk up Bukit Melawati (these are nxt to each other at Kuala Selangor Town). say u reach at 1300... u'll end these at 1700 (including a 45min break at a cafe in the town itself)... then ask ur driver to drop u off at Pasir Penambang (famous to the city-folks of KL for its reasonably priced seafood!) for seafood dinner... try out River View Restoran!!! Butter prawns (s) + thai style long bean (s)+ seafood fried rice (for 2, big portion) cost me abt. RM33 only. DELICIOUS!! u can chk out the stalls selling dried seafood n stuff... the dried/crispy cuttlefish tidbits were delicious!! Apparently KL folks flock to these seafood restaurants on wkends... thus reaching there earlier would be a good idea... before 6pm shld b fine.
if possible get ur driver to pick u up at 1915 and head to Kg. Belimbing's fireflies tour (it's within the Firefly Park resort) @rm10 per adult n rm6 per child.
best time to see is at abt 8pm. without a full moon hopefully! (tho i had mine with a full moon... the effect of the litted insects were still significantly amazing!) :) ~30-45mins
after tht u can then return to KL... probably by 2300 i guess...
In addition:
Eye on M'sia... visited it 2 mths ago... quite a nice place to keep snapping pics... visit it at night to get the view of the litted Twin Towers... a cab ride from Bukit Bintang area to and fro shldn't cost more than RM15 each way. entrance fee is, if i don't remember wrongly, RM15 per adult.
