Planning a Holiday for June 2011

The original plan was to go back to Taiwan in June this year. Decided to go to Hokkaido since we have been talking about it for quite awhile even though the Taiwan's trip programme almost completed.

The sudden earthquake and massive nuke leak changed the whole planning. Was quite disappointed but definitely not safe to go ahead. Where's next? Beijin. Dropped the plan again due to the hot weather and not many interesting spots for girl girl.

Finally settled to visit Melbourne for the cooling weather since it is winter in June and a good mix of activity for the family. Pretty busy and tiring to research 4 places over a few months. But the effort was not totally wasted as we can use it whenever we decided to visit the places again.

I enjoy planning unique and enriching holiday program, ie trying different activities so as to have different experiences from the moment we fly off until we touch down home. For the recent Melbourne trip, we tried traveling on SQ A380, staying in a service apartment with a kitchen and day trip to a few nearby places.

Half way into the trip, I also started to source for more information that I may need it as I will be visiting Melbourne again :-)
