Trip to Gold Coast

Finally we are planning to go Gold Coast, Brisbane this year.

I have planned to go during 2001. During Aug 01, I booked a 7-day trip during NATAS fair then to travel during Nov. A deposit of $2,000 was placed.

But the 9-11 disaster happened. So, our head of the family felt that it was not safe to travel at that point of time. I called to cancel and need to pay for the admin charges of $600. So I am left with $1,400 travel vouchers.

Never did I realised that the voucher was only valid till Oct 02. The kids were not able to go for holiday during the school term. Thanks to my sister's Hongkong fren who got married during that time. The voucher was then used for her air tickets and accomodation when they attend the wedding there.

This year, when Jane wanted to go with her husband. Our family have the same intention. So Jane booked the trip for October when we have yet confirmed the date yet.

Unfortunately, due to low season, their trip was not materialised. Then we decide to go together in Nov. But checking out some dates and ideal travel schedules, we eventually settled to travel on 21st Nov to 27th Nov 08.

The deposit had been placed. Pray hard nothing is going and should not happen, we are now counting down the days to the trip.

Happil to say GoldCoast here we come!
