A little earlier this year I'd planned to take a short and inexpensive trip abroad somewhere because every Tom, Dick and Harry I know were talking of all the holidays they were going on in the summer.
However, it's nearly September and I haven't booked anywhere yet.
I also had planned last year to take a trip to several Eastern countries in one hit this year, but I haven't been able to do that so I'm looking at that for next year (after April 2009).
So now I'm in a bit of a predicament because I really want to go on this Eastern holiday next year, but I'm worried that if I take a cheap holiday this year to Scandinavia (I don't know where yet - Stockholm, Oslo or Copenhagen) then I'll be broke for the Eastern trip. Well, not broke, but I'm worried that I won't save enough money in time to do it. Need to also bear in mind I'll be going on the Eastern holiday for at least two weeks.
So why am I posting? Well, first of all it's because I'd like to hear about your (and Keith's wife's) amazing experiences of Eastern countries, for example Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore. Secondly I need some fast help in making a decision.
The Phillippines looks nice too, however I heard it's dangerous to go there. But there are the Chocolate Hills... which look amazing!
Anyway, tomorrow I'll check how much holiday entitlement I'll get for the remainder of this year... since I joined the company in May it should be about 12 days. The Scandinavian trip would only be for one week max.
Cheers, ciao!
