OMG! i am soooooooooooo excited. dad has got this foreign travel allowance from his company and he finally plans to take us out this july. after december i wont be elligible for the allowance cause i'll turn 25.

i looked for a cheap tour to USA but none were less than 2lakh indian rupees/person. so we finally decided to go to far east.

singapore, bangkok, kaula lampur, pattaya, santosa island, genting highlands and one or two more places. its a cox and kings package tour and since they have completed 250 years they are offering a discount. its 75000 indian rupees/ person.

i have yearned for foreign travel since i was a kid, finally the moment arrives. any tips from fellow saggis or others for my first trip abroad?

Advice => have fun. Smile.

Check out if there are any manners and customs different from your home country. A decent guide book should help with that.

Study all you can on the places you want to see most. Then plan your trip by either starting your trip in the city furthest from your home, then make your way back toward home, or the opposite.

Take a camera and write a travel diary. Include pics and ticket stubs, menus and any info from the places you visited.

Where? From one Saggie to another, everywhere! lol

have fun!

camera will certainly be there. travel diary is an excellent idea! wow! i have never maintained a diary. it would be fun. i need to see how people write them when they travel. i have no idea...

i will certainly keep some currency notes and coins with me as a remineder of where i have been.

one thing i pray for is that dad and mom dont fight in the trip. and for that it is important there is no one else from the people i know to come with us. cause that's when my aries dad and leo mom have ego showdowns. when they are in company they have no option but to keep quite and listen to this chatterbox sag and his other leo son talk about stuff ;-)
