Planning ahead

Hi Me,

Time seems to pass really slowly these days, but I guess that’s just me getting impatient.

It’s thirty-two days away from the departure date and almost a year since I last flew. Well, to be exact it’s actually nine months. Still, this long period of staying put in one place kind of puts me off.

All the balance of payments are settled, except for the clothes and packing. But hey! We still have a month more to prepare.

And as it turns out, Aunty Sim will be going.

Mum and I actually had a bet on whether she would join us for the tour even though she had previously stated very clear that she won’t be. From my observation I don’t think she will be fond of being separated from her boyfriend for such a long period. After all, they are still in the lovey dopey period so I bet that she will eventually join us. Mum thought otherwise considering she had family circumstances but it turns out I'm right.

Frankly, I am quite glad that she is joining us. This will be the first time that I will be traveling with her and I know it won’t be the last. Of all the tales I heard of her, finally I get some of it live.

That aside, I’m already planning for my next trip and the subsequent one. Anxious you may think I am to have planned so much way ahead but I have to decide where I am going before leaving aside the very little leaves I have. It’s all in talks now and not confirmed and I don’t know the likelihood of it happening. 

I didn't planned for a trip although it did cross my mind to maybe take some day off.

However, Boss suddenly popped out asking everybody if we were keen to go on a trip with her at the end of the year. The response was cold as usual. Everybody couldn't make it.

Initially, I told her I couldn't as that is my peak season but after knowing that she wanted to travel during the Christmas and New Year period, I hesitated.

As these two holidays fall on Friday, all I have to do is to take a few more days of leaves, maybe 6 to enjoy 12 day of rest.

So I told her, I probably can make it but my leaves are subject to approval.

We have planned to travel around Germany but we changed our mind to Slovenia since both of us have yet to been there. I changed once more to Austria since there's no flight to Vienna at the timing I wanted.

And now we are going to Finland because Boss hasn't been there and she's swept off her feet by the photos of Finland. Since we have been changing our mind, I really don't know if we will change our destination again.

I'm quite skeptic on whether this trip will be possible but all fingers' crossed.

I really don't want to spend another year before I can make a trip to Canada.

My plan is to travel twice in a year. I don't think I can stay put in a country after I have the monetary power now. I don't mind if it's just a short trip to maybe Taiwan but I just want to go somewhere. Moreover, I plan to visit almost every country. In order to realise my dream, I have to start travelling or if I travel one country a year, I can never finish 195 of them. Well, maybe not all countries especially those war-torn nations.

Funny that before I go on to the first trip of the year, I am already planning my next. Haha. In fact, I'm planning my trip in 2016.

It's very crucial to plan ahead especially if you only have 14 annual leaves and are planning for a long trip.

Your trip isn't going to be a mere 5 days.

I have already did some research on the place and where to go but we will see.

My fingers are all crossed now.
