I can’t remember when the last time I was on a real holiday without any working agenda. The main reason was I never had enough money to go somewhere exotic. Oh, I think I remember now that it was Madrid last year. But that was also combined with my trip to Cannes. But then it was pure holiday in Madrid and I was sick over there. Not a nice one.

So the goal was set. I got this travel bugs from my parents. They were the one who introduced me Bali when I was just 7. Since 1993, I’ve been to over 20 countries. I never thought I’m so lucky.

Anyway, back to the big plan of traveling, I have bought my flights! Yes! And it’s unbelievably cheap. Just a bit over 300 USD for 3 return flights and some buses. It will be an adventure. It will be in April 2009 for one full month! Yey! I’m combining big cities, villages and islands. I’m so excited.

Excerpt chat in Yahoo Messenger with DK last night:
DK: Hey Babe, how are you?
Me: Fine thanks.
DK: I will be over in Southeast Asia again in October. Bangkok, Phnom Penh, and Hanoi. Would be nice if you can fly there for a coffee. lol…
Me: When exactly? I will be in Bangkok on 28 Oct to 3 Nov
DK: Nooo...Damn! I will only be in Bangkok for one night on 15 Sep. I book myself at Babylon hostel. I’m such a slut!
Me: Lol....Never imagining you as a slut as I know you when you had a bf. I wish I could go to meet you. But I’m planning to be in Bangkok again next year for one month in April 2009
DK: What will you do there for one full month? Slutting? I’m so jealous!
Me: Yes, slutting around
DK: Slut!
Me: Yes, I am. No doubt about it

I know it’s still a long way to go but it’s good to plan ahead. At least flights are paid. Now, I only have to think how to save money to do this trip. I will mostly do the backpacking way. It’s been sooo long..As I’m getting older, I need more preparations this time. As a spoiled Queen, I need to remind myself not to bring all these unnecessary cosmetics. And just bring the essentials.

Here is the Big Plan:

Period: 7 April - 5 May 2009
Destinations: Bangkok-Phnom Penh, Angkor Wat, Ho Chi Minh City, Krabi, Koh Phi Phi.
Additional destinations (not fixed): Chiang Mai, Ayuthaya, Koh Samui
Activities: Being a slut, going to clubs, saunas, eating in the streets, swimming in the sea, sun tanning, visiting tourist sites, drinking excessively, smoking, rave parties, writing my book and read books.
