That Long

Has it been that long?!!! 3 months since I stop blogging. Eversince the family decides to go for a long holiday trip to Europe, I stop doing everything except for research, research and research.. Well what is three months compare to 20 years the last time I step on a European soil. The last time I went to Europe probably in 1990 to Switzerland and Paris. So guess what....I heading there again. first to Paris for 4 days, Finland for 5 days and off to switzerland for 5 more. Ok a lot of you guys might think, "hey, it is so simple. Get your travel agent, book the flight and get hotel reservation. All that and off you go." Well I did that. The budget comes to $20000 for 4! Where am I gonna get that kind of money. It is close to my annual income!!!

So it back to the drawing board. I did all the manual calculation of course thanks for all the advance technologies in internet, I manage to get the best price on my air ticket. I book 3 separate flight which cost me $1700 each to three countries instead of $2200. I manage to reserved the hotel without a third party commision. That save me a about 300Euro each. With swiss pass, swiss rail, paris metro, airport shuttle, air flight and hotels, the cost set me back about $12000. How I do it? 3 months of lack of sleep.. Now Its 7 more days, all I am going to Europe. Itinerary is another challenge for me. Same goes with what photographic equipments I am bringing.

So guys,let me take you along with me on this journey. Follow me up on my travel blog. The adventure is about to start. I start with detailed on how I get my things done before the trip.

I hope this journey will entice you to go on a Europe trip..

So long and thanks for reading
