I thought I'd update this again for those interested.
If I had my way, I'd be travelling full time. I hope that one day, my work will enable me to travel the world. We can only dream. Working in one place, whilst giving me a purpose, bores me shitless.
I've planned two trips to South East Asia this year... one in 6 weeks time and the other at the end of the year, mostly to celebrate my mum's 60th. She is in for a real treat going to one of my favourite places on Earth for the first time.
In 6 weeks, I'll be spending two weeks travelling through Bangkok, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap before returning to Singapore for a night.
At the end of the year, a bit more of the same but new year's eve in Chiang Mai, a business class flight Perth to Singapore with my mum, and about 2 weeks in Cambodia to re-visit Angkor Watt and Phnom Penh. I hope to visit Geraldine Cox's orphanages in Cambodia - her book, 'Home is Where the Heart Is' is a highly recommended read and gives an incredible insight into not only her own life but also that of the plea of Cambodian children. Having met Aleks in January last year (a Cambodian orphan), I couldn't help but be torn by his story and the fact that his daily life is a heart-wrenching struggle.
Travel won't stop there. I'm looking to travel round the world in business class (funds permitting) for the 2010/2011 Xmas break. This will be an opportunity to revisit some of my favourite destinations on Earth, with one deviation to Israel which I've always wanted to go to. The trip at the moment is:
Perth-Hong Kong-Bangkok-Singapore-London (on the A380)-Tel Aviv-London(transit)-Barcelona (maybe venturing to Sitges)-New York-Miami-San Jose-San Francisco-Los Angeles-Sydney (on the A380)-Perth. All up, about a 5 week trip.
I'd love to read of my readers' dream round the world itineraries, that fit in with the rules and routes of the Oneworld Airfare.
