So this is supposed to be a travel blog…
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007Since this is supposed to be a travel blog I decided I’d write a little about us wanting to go on a trip. We’ve been planning that our first big vacation after re-entering the real world would be a dive trip on a liveaboard to Galapagos. First we said we’d go in October, but then we were both so busy at work we put it off and said we’d go in February. The trouble is, I just don’t think I can do it, it is too expensive. I mean we *could* do it, but I’m just not sure the value is there with the prices they are asking, and I have not found a cheap alternative. I used to work with an Ecuadorian who said his brother worked in the dive business and could hook us up, but I’ve lost contact with him.
Then we thought since our friend Steve is living in Japan we should go visit him, he suggested over New Year. That sounds really fun, although the plane tickets are expensive once we get there we’ve got a place to stay and I really want to go to Japan. But I kinda wanted to go in the summer when we could climb Mt Fuji. Steve is supposed to be there for a few years, we could go in the summer, but I kind of want to go now.
Then today, I got my ‘top 20 travel deals’ email in my in box and took a look. There is a package deal to fancy resort in Cabo San Lucas, all inclusive for $679 per person including airfare from Denver but you have to travel between November 15 and December 25th. With Thanksgiving and Christmas in there that would be tight, and you have to book by next week…
So it’s a big dilemma, what to do, what to do? Any suggestions????
