Planning a vacation

Planning a vacation is not easy especially if the parties interested are half the world away from each other.


I believe that it is easier when I do the travelling cos I tend to plan early, do lots of pre planning and keep the other parties constantly informed.

This time round, however, the other parties need to travel to this part of the world.
We've all done this before.
Even with all the hassle it normally turns out just great! I am praying that the trend continues.

We've been to the Singapore Zoo twice. I rate that Zoo as amongst the best in the world.

We had tea with the orang utan. That was fun. But those orang utan are human tamed. They've been in captivity for so long they are partly human.

Then on another trip we all went to the orang utan reserve in Borneo. That was another beautiful trip. To see real life wild orang utan in their element. Yes, even when wild they have quite a bit of human characteristics.


We've also had our holiday with the leeches story.

We've travelled through the rain forest both day and night. Gotten our bodies sucked by the leeches. It doesnt hurt but it does make your skin crawl to see a parasite greedily drinking your blood.

What are we going to do this time?
I dont really know.
We've been looking through the internet for clues.
I thought of visiting Lakes, towns in areas we've never driven thru before, Beach towns, more forests, maybe a mud volcano.
There's a lot of work to be done. Bookings to be made.
I need more constant contact for this to be properly done.
Or is it all going to be done for me? (This has also happened before).

Must be really nice to be able to plan a vacation. I can't even plan on calling in sick at work. Sigh! Someday, as my fortune cookie paper strip sez..."your efforts will be made worthy with a great reward" --- whatever that may be.

For some, a vacation is almost a necessity in order to go thru this life.
When u live apart for most of the year,
When only manage to meet during ur vacation,
When u work and work and work the rest of the year,
When u only get to share some sort of other life thru kindness of others,
U kind of really depend on the vacation times.
Hope ur rewards comes soon enough, Noel.
I am making sure mine does!
