Flying Blues
Today's Monday but I haven't got any Monday blues, instead I've got some flying blues! Flying in form of flights to be exact. I realized that the hardest part of going on overseas holidays isn't about having the cash - at least not to me. It's no use having money when you can't find people to go with or find a suitable flight. In fact there are so many problems before the 1st and most important step of booking the flight tickets is completed!
An amount that seem cheap and reasonable to you may be expensive and ridiculous to others. A date that is fine to you may not suit another person. Your priority and purpose of going to that particular country may not rhymes with another person. To sum it up, it's difficult to strike a balance which means it's difficult to find people to go on trips with. That is just 1 tough step in a stairway of steps.
Then there is the difficulty of finding the 'cheapest' flight available and like I say, $200 may be cheap to some and expensive to others. The timing may not be favourable as well. Finding people to travel on trips is probably the hardest part of it all. And we're not talking about 1 or 2 people, we're talking about a group. People these days hardly go on trips in pairs - unless they are a couple of course. I'm actually kicking myself why am I not attached now.....maybe I should find a travel girlfriend instead! Haha!
I'm actually planning to hit Bangkok again somewhere in November for a jolly good time out there before my x'Mas trip to HongKong in December. Bangkok is optional but Hongkong is the one I'm actually dying to go, in fact I'd gladly spend my x'Mas anywhere but in this country. You can easily figure out why - I'm sick of Christmas in Singapore! It's always the same thing, party, booze, counting down, Suntec, Marina, Orchard, Mos, Zouk, Bla bla bla! Hardly anything new, unless you consider staying at home as one.
And so should everything go well, the tickets to HongKong will be booked by this Sunday. I'm praying it happens and should shit happens, I've already conjured up a nice Plan B. I'm not revealing it for now though. Dear god, please grant me my x'Mas wish early and get me outta here!!
