80% Confirmed trip

Hi Me,


转了一大圈，还是回到原点.

So it's been decided that we will go to Finland and Sweden, after all these discussions we had.

The decision came quite sudden as out of no where, Shiqi announced that her company is shifting their office during the Xmas period. So she asked if there's any other days which we can travel.

Initially, I agreed to travelling because I thought it is really a good deal as we have two public holidays on Fridays, so I get to enjoy longer holidays at the expense of very little leaves. But now, that I can't be done so we have to seek alternatives.

I wasn't extremely keen nor was I reluctant but since I had already promised her that we will go somewhere and she seems really excited about it, I can't let her down.

So we planned to bring forward our trip to September.

And that's less than two months away!

We were looking at flights and were in discussion (again) on where we will go given that we had a shorter time period. To be honest, I was a bit relieved that we didn't get to go during December but was also a bit disappointed. Winter in Europe is going to be cold but I will get to enjoy white Xmas if I had went during that period.

We kept messaging each other on the dates we are available and more importantly given the very few leaves I have, we try to work out a week we can go.

But anyway, we were looking at the options we have and was almost decided to go London when Shiqi suddenly spotted a flight to Spain. So we changed back to our initial plans.

I guess she is really keen on Spain but just what can I see in Spain?

Then when I thought we were finally settled on Spain, she landed a bomb on me once again. We are going to Helsinki and Stockholm since Finnair is having promotions.

Okay, that's better than Spain, I think.  And it's really cheap! 2 countries at a price of one, actually it's even cheaper than the price of one.

Plus, I might get to see Aurora.

I have already asked my manager and she gave the nod. So I'm good to go. All what's left is for Shiqi to apply for her leaves and we can go.

I'm just excited and also sceptical if this trip is even possible.

But we'll see.
