Yesterday, I was asked by work colleagues why I was frowning. My reply was that I couldn't make up my mind whether to visit Croatia, Greece or Turkey. Would love to do all three but as usual it is a matter of time. lol

So, I was asked if I wanted "a smack in the chops by one colleague and another saying "what a tough life" and that they hate me and to go away. Well, not in such polite words. lol

I really didn't mean to rub it in (says she gleefully) for I was getting stressed thinking about where I should go but I guess some would say that I was being. But, perhaps I was.

Couldn't wait till the day of the morning send off tea break. I am going to thank the CFO profusely for knocking my request for leave without pay so I can travel. Well, it is all thanks to him that I will now be travelling for almost 5 months. :)

Way to go!! I'm envious, of course, but have done that myself (for a year) so I can imagine how excited you must be. Happy trails!

Not yet. I tend to do this in the last few days, besides, after so much travelling I think I pretty much have a handle on the parking bit.

You have a passport yet? Talk to us b4 buying air fare. Theres a how.

When I told my friends in Texas, that I'm moving to Seville, Spain,
they all said,"Why? You don't know anybody over there."

Friends back home, don't wanna hear more than ten minutes of it. They think we're crazy for not needing a buddy to change our wishes (errr "enjoy it with.")

God bless solo travel!
Travel plans are only the first guess.

Yes, I have passport. I bought my fare late last year. Flying with Scoot to Singapore because Scoot had a special on. Then, decided it is better to fly from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur then do the overland trip. Got another great fare for AUD45.

Flying from KL to London with MAS. I choose to fly with MAS because it is a 13 hours flight direct from KL to London. Could have done it cheaper with Chinese airlines but prefer to avoid them at this stage.

gawkabout, are you still residing in Seville and will you be there in early September? Will be nice to meet up as we will be there for 6 days.

This trip, I will most likely just visit Barcelona.
