Our New Year’s Vacation Plan

Vacation button

We are going on vacation this Christmas – New Year holiday season, and I have been planning it for weeks now. Normally I would avoid airplane travel during holiday season, especially if I am going with family and kids. Higher ticket price, more airport crowds, longer check-in queue and some times more delays are some of the reasons I prefer to go somewhere within driving distance during peak season.

This time, however, I notice that my kids have not gone anywhere throughout the year. The last time we had vacation was last New Year holiday at a resort in Puncak, West Java, which is about two hours drive from home. After that we have not had any family trip again, even during the long school holiday on June-July because I got to go to London for office work. That makes me feel that I owe my kids a great family vacation before this year ends, so I plan to bring them to a new place away from home, probably abroad. Hence we got to use airplane this time.

I have not chosen our destination though, got three options: Bali, Singapore or Manado, and I already booked our plane tickets to those 3 places since last month. I still need to sort some things out before I decide where we are going to this holiday. Once decided, I will issue the tickets as soon as possible, and will make a post about it! Good thing that my company own a travel agent, so ticket and hotel bookings are relatively easy tasks for me, even during peak season.

So for now there is nothing much I can tell about our vacation plan yet, except “We are going on vacation!” All six of us: me, hubby, two kids (5 yo boy and 14 months baby), my mom and our nanny. :razz: :razz:
