Travel Plans

Christmas is around the corner, this is the best time of the year to do some traveling here and there. As for me, I am not going anywhere far yet this month but we will not be celebrating Christmas in our house this year. That is why I did not put up our Christmas tree this year, we will be visiting down south to visit my siblings and celebrating the festive season with them. I am really looking forward to seeing them again, it has been a long time since we last gathered together as one family.

As for my traveling plans, my kids and I have decided to visit Down Under next year.  Now is the time to "accumulate" some information, where, what, how and when.  LOL.... These brochures below were passed to me by my colleague who had just came back from Australia.  He just came back from Sydney with his wife, they had a wonderful time there and he has given me much details on where to stay, where to go, what to eat etc. etc.  Since I am going with my three kids, he suggested that we could rent a car to drive around Melbourne.  There are so many listed and reliable websites and one of them is the campervan hire from My Drive Holiday.  Yes, we are going for a free-and-easy trip, no group tours and waking up wee hours in the morning, we prefer to plan our own tours or joining some local tours when we reach there.  Nothing definite yet, we are still planning.... :)
Useful information... I hope by the time I go, I can remember what he had told me!  
hahahaa...
My first time to Sydney, that was many years ago.
Darling Harbour, if I am not mistaken....
Any changes after 30 years? LOL...
Queuing up to take a picture with Mr. Koala!
Well, it would be great to make another trip to Down Under...
Hopefully by next year...

  2. i will not travel during the peak season, because everywhere will be so packed and also the fares will be more expensive too.. so festive seasons better stay in KL, as KL will be very quite and peaceful, haha.. have not been Down Under before lah.. you are going there for the second time, how nice!!
