Spent the last few days planning for our summer vacation trips, trying to source for the cheapest and value for money deals for flights, hotels and car rentals. My head is already giddy from comparing hundreds of hotels and flights charges which are mostly exorbitant. It is really difficult to find accommodations which offer free parking in big cities. US hotel charges are still very high despite being in recession. But lucky...I have all the time in the world now...so can slowly source for cheap alternatives. Wahahah...
Summer Trip: Planning to spend 18 days travelling Boston and Canada. Especially looking forward to some of the bed and breakfast stays, where we get to stay in real homes of the locals who have converted some of their rooms for B&B. Breakfast is usually very good, rooms are super cozy, and the hosts are often very warm and hospitable. And it suits couples on honeymoon better than staying in cheap hotels. I really like the feel of staying "in a home away from home". Quebec city in Canada should be very nice too as it is dominated by french culture and tradition European style. Surprisingly, their main language is French! One problem we might have is the road signs which will also be in French, which we know nuts about... Toronto and Montreal will also be some of our destinations as well... We will then end off the trip with the grand highlight: the NIAGARA FALLS!! WEEEEEE!!! Another must-visit site. Here, we will also be staying at a B&B which are owned by two guys...hee, should be super nice!
Birthday Trip: 10 day trip to Hawaii Island and the Maui (an off-site island which is also part of Hawaii). We wanted to much to see the volcano national park in Hawaii island and enjoy the relatively more quiet and pristine beaches at the Maui island. Wah...Super looking fwd to Hawaii now, I've never expected to visit Hawaii in my lifetime before I came to US...have been dreaming of white sandy beaches with clear blue ocean lately, it's a really great way to spend my bday..I'm sure it will be my most unforgettable bday celebration to-date... Wah~ I feel so 幸福 just by looking forward to these two trips... Have never felt so carefree in a long long time...and I know this will all end when I return to resume my boring worklife...so..must cherish the moments now...Although these will pose a huge strain on our savings, but life is short and so we must enjoy while we are still in good health!
Just made OR-NEE again, to satisfy Cha's new bout of craving for it...This time it tastes better without too much shallots...Cannot believe Cha still say it's not sweet enough when I have added 15 teaspoons of the sugar into the small portion of mashed yam...sibei sinful... Both Cha and I must start to work on toning our bodies liaoz...so that we can show off our bods in bikinis and trunks on the Hawaiian beach, then wun be sia suay among the ang mor hunks and babes, hee hee =p
