1st School Holiday Family Vacation – “东方之珠“

In last than a month, it will be Aces Family 1st school holiday... : P

Yes it is the March 1 week school holiday. 14 - 22 March 2009...

I had requested for Adrian to apply for a week of leaves to look after Anthea. He did and it had been approved.

We discussed a little if we should plan for a short vacations. I told him I prefer to do it during the June school holiday. However, he mentioned that he may be doing his course during that time and leaves may be difficult to approve. Since his March leaves had been approved, we should just go ahead for a short trip.

With the “Finance Minister” approval, I started the family vacation research. There were 3 countries for consideration:

Australia – Melbourne or Perth
Hong Kong
Thailand – Chiangmai/chiangrai

After some budgeting and planning, we (or rather the planner – that’s me!!) narrowed down to Hong Kong…hee : )

I contacted Chan Brothers and will be booking their 5D4N Hong Kong Magical Discovery. This is a package tour and it includes a 1 night stay in Disneyland hotel. The reasons why we(I) shortlisted Hong Kong is:

1. Package price is within our Q1 2009 travel budget;

2. Hong Kong is a easy place to go around, even on our own and it’s good for SHOPPING…hee : ) （买东西，吃东西)

3. Anders has not been to Hong Kong, so it’ll be a good chance for him to explore, plus he is going to Disneyland for the 1st time. It will be a great birthday present for him.

According to the agency, they need 10 travelers to materialize the group, so in the event, if the group is not confirmed, we will go on their Free & Easy deal which is still fine with us. Important thing is we are enjoying it as a family this time.

下一个(journey)旅行地点是香港，期待能够好好的共享家庭之乐。
