Phuket here I come!

I love traveling! Its fun to experience a new culture, and take in the people, the sights, the sounds and the smells. I especially love the planning part of the trip and the anticipation of it all – what will we do, what to bring, where to visit and of course most importantly where to stay.

Im planning to go to Langkawi during the first week of November for a weekend of fun times with friends, booze and the beach then I’m planning to go back to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah to attend Mag’s wedding in July.

But what I’m really excited about is my upcoming trip to Phuket on 31st Jan 2008. I just got my tickets (which was around rm320) and so far even though only Pam and I have got our tickets (we wanted to buy them early to get them cheaper), I’m sure many more people will decide to join us.

What we haven’t decided was where to stay. Thank goodness there is a place online to make Hotel Reservations. I just keyed in the destination and the dates I wanted to go and walah! I got a list of more than 10 hotels/resorts to stay in. And, the great thing about using that website is that there are special promotions and discounts available. One resort in Patong beach was only $48/night. Isn’t that cheap?
