Tripping Thailand

It's on - we're going to Phuket. Although details are still sketchy, there's so much to look forward to and the excitement is seriously building.

Here's the messy pre-travelling plan:
  • AirAsia to be booked within the next 1 week... passport (exp Jan'07) needs to be renewed before that (thank willies the immigration dept has upgraded their passport appication system)
  • Annual Leave application for 7 & 8 Dec already submitted and approved a month ago (it took friggin 3 weeks to get one blardee signature)
  • Research - accommodation, sights, divesites, transportation, other random activities
  • Rob a bank - for the RM300 new passport fee, RM1,000 travel budget & RM3,500 dive junk... who can recommend banks which are easy targets?
  • Get my new dive junk together - BC, mozzie & regulator

Here's the rough itinenary:

  • Late morning flight on 7/Dec, return 10/Dec evening... delays expected with AirAsia.
  • Massages - this'd be the first time I have to pay - must blog later.
  • Bars & clubs - to compare to the KL nightlife scene
  • Trigger happy with the camera so that I can display more than just text here
  • Change of scenery - DIVING... and test out my new dive junk
  • Buy t-shirt(s) with 18SX content, which Mum will probably throw out after the first wash.
  • look into the possibility of a money-losing business venture

Companions - Robert, SY & Simon. I've never gone on an all-guys trip before - ever! It's kind of refreshing that I'm not bringing some gal along for a change.

...pardon the mess above. I'll post another entry once we get organized. Feel free to give advice!
