Well after months of planning with a travel agent for our honeymoon in the US, the trip has been postponed :( We had planned an extensive itinerary for this October - starting in Perth > Hong Kong > New York > Orlando > Miami > Las Vegas and the a drive up to San Francisco. Overall a pretty awesome journey! Unfortunately there is just far too much pressure on us to come up with the cash! Overall the flights, accommodation & car hire was $13,000 - and then there is food, spending money, petrol etc...which bought the cost a little out of control!!! I imagine the trip would have been somewhere around $20,000!! Eep!
So we have decided to do the right thing and put that money towards a house instead! Oh the sad choices we make when we become adults! On a positive note, we are still going to go somewhere and this opens up a whole heap of doors. I mean, let's face it - if we can get away with a $5000 holiday, we will still be up by $15,000 so it's win win!
We have decided if we aim to have a reasonably priced 1 week holiday every 3 months then it will feel like we are constantly going on holiday :) Happy days.
The first one which I am thinking might be in July, we are tossing up between a few places - Thailand, Singapore or maybe somewhere closer to home ie. in Australia somewhere. The idea of Thailand excites me because it will be warm, there will be beaches, snorkeling, cocktails, massages and plenty of relaxing for not too much cash! But Singapore is also right up there, though it will be more expensive in the long run so I am not sure. Feel free to comment or give me any tips re these places....
One thing is for sure, I have very itchy feet and I need a break from work! So let me get on with it and plan some more :) Hopefully the outcome to this next batch of research will end well :)
