Travel Bites

 I've decided to list the places (outside of the Philippines) that we've been to since I discovered the 'love' for traveling. I know it's only a handful and as some acquaintance aptly put it we 'haven't done much traveling' at all. So many places to see, not enough time and money. If only we have an unlimited supply of money I'd travel the world several times over. In the mean time, I'd have to be content with these places.

• Singapore (September 2006 and January 2010)
• Malaysia - Johor Bahru (September 2006)
• We have been residents of Australia since June 2008 and so far these are some of the cities/places we've been to: Sydney, Canberra, Blue Mountains, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, Tamworth, Coffs Harbour, Hunter Valley
• Hong Kong (December 2009-January 2010)
• Macau (January 2010)

We're going back to Manila on November 2010 and we're staying until January 2011. We might do sidetrips to Hong Kong (again) and/or Bangkok. *fingers crossed*

After we get our citizenship in 2012 we're planning to go to Europe and America. Most likely we'll do the European holiday first, just because! :)

Travel Bug

I’ve been bitten! By the travel bug, that is. If only I have an unlimited supply of money I’d go and travel the world. Who wouldn’t want to, right? Since that’s clearly not the case, let me just list (in no particular order) SOME of the places I’ve been dreaming of exploring.

1. Greece – I’d love to go to Athens. Oh, and Santorini. Enough said.

2. France – I want to go to Paris and eat crepes and go up the Eiffel Tower!

3. Thailand – I want to roam in the streets of Bangkok. People say that when you go to Bangkok it’s like you never left Manila at all. Even so, I’d like to experience it myself. I want to go to Phuket, as well.

4. Japan – I want to people-watch in Tokyo.

5. South Korea – I don’t exactly know why but it has something to do with Boys Over Flowers, the Koreanovela. Haha!

6. USA – I want to visit relatives in California then walk The Strip in Vegas, spend Christmas and New Year in New York. My husband wants to go to Boston and watch a Celtics match. Hopefully we can do so before Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen retires! I want to go Disney World in Orlando and the list goes on and on!

These are just some of the places I can think of right now.

Realistically, Bangkok seems to be our next destination. I still have to convince my husband though. I’m thinking maybe September or October this year. Fingers crossed. If not, I can probably squeeze Bangkok in our Manila holiday come April-May 2011. I can’t wait! I’m already doing the requisite research. My husband couldn’t be bothered with the details because he says he’s already paying for the trip. You know what? He has a point. =)
