Plans for honeymoon!

Thanks to my colleague who reminded me that we should not delay honeymoon for too long else would lose that kind of feeling so I talked to Web the other day about it. He agreed to take our honeymoon, probably from Nov/Dec/Jan depending on the season and leave etc. Both of us are entitled to 5 consecutive days of marriage leave from our companies but mine can only be taken on the same year as our registered date of marriage (ROM date). We wanted to avoid school holidays too so we can have some peace throughout and save on surcharge for peak seasons. Will need to check with my HR again on the leave.

Planned to go Korea (1st choice) or Japan (but quite ex) and wanted to go during winter to experience the snow and cold weather. Cun think of any other place coz Web dun like neighbouring countries like Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Western countries are far too ex and too far (long travelling time, need many days of leave, costly and especially currency exchange rate).

I hope we are going to other countries apart from Hong Kong (my favourite) and Australia (been there twice). Even worse come to worst, still can consider Australia coz it has many cities to go. I have been to Gold Coast (2002), Sydney (2002) and Perth (2004) so far and there are many more lovely places in Australia like Tasmania, Darwin and Melbourne etc.

Looks like need to shelve my plan with sis to HK/ Taiwan again for this year coz both of us no munnei ($$$). Hopefully can go next year... Haven't been overseas the whole of 2006 and felt so deprived!!

We are now looking at different travel agencies' sites for their tour packages to Korea. We are more keen on tours going to places like the filming location site (Nami Island) where the two main characters of the Korean series "Winter Sonata" fall in love. Also hope can go skiing as its a once in a lifetime experience so definitely must go during winter.

Will probably check out travel agents once we settle our house and customary. Need to start saving more!!!
