I made a last minute decision to go Egypt:) yes, Egypt. Haha. Joanne said she couldn't believe I would choose Egypt. Haha! I guess as we pass through different stages in life, our thoughts, priorities and preference would change. Used to like countries with shopping and clubs, but now my wish is to see the 7 wonders of the world. Actually every God's creation is a wonder but those are more beautiful and magnificent. Ever since I seen The Grand Canyon, I just wish to see more and more. Ian is right, life is too short for us to keep going back to the same place, we have to visit different places, explore different things. Many "wow" at the number of days that I will be going but consider the fact that this will probably be my first and last time to Egypt, it isn't that long afterall. After surfing the net, I realized there are so many places I wanna go in Egypt. From the pyramids to the Red Sea, to the Valleys of the Kings to Mediterenean sea. Both sea I wish to go, at first I told myself die die must cover red sea, because it was mentioned in bible but after second thoughts, I decided to go for the Mediterenean instead if time doesn't allow, because for sure I will go Israel. I can still see the red sea by then. Will be going in less than a month time but will be back on Xmas to celebrate with my Dearest, Jesus:) touching down on Singapore on Xmas day itself, I will ask Marcus or Karyn to reserve seat for me le, I believe it will be in Expo or Indoor Stadium. I will go straight from airport. Actually I only decided to go yesterday and got Ian to make the booking. Price went up by $100 in a few mins, sigh:( actually Ian was the one who jio me to go because the air ticket is cheap, fly by Qatar at only $1008, all in. I was quite tempted and yet skeptical so went online to do some research and was very convinced I should go:p haha! But Qatar has to transit at Doha for 13.5hrs! Which made the total travelling time to 25hours!! Decided to go for SQ instead, which only transit Dubai for 1.5hrs. This trip is kinda an adventurous one cause we only book the hotel for Cairo itself. We decided to go first then decide which city to go when we reach, kinda backpacking but of course, no backpackers inn for me, that's for sure:)
Will do my planning in the plane, I believe this trip will refresh me like my US trip, I will close even more in 2012!
