The explanation of the grind factor...

I never immagined saying yes to travel would mean sitting till 5:00 am in the morning doing reserach.

• Free things to do


• Non Free things to do.


• To do with kids.


• To do without kids. (No chance, but we're optimistic).


• Travel made cheap.


• Currency converter.


• How to be safe.


• How to be adventourous.


• Smart street food.


• Fine dining for you.

& note, each factor is opposite to the other, because well, I may do nothing at home, but wouldn't want to miss hard work on vacation, do I?

The trave planning........ the grind?

& all the lows that must accompany my highs......

I'm just noting this down, so that I always remember this phase. The disbelirf, that my vacation is actually going to happen.... The going to Mahindra Group of holidays... The sweet talks while signing up. & then after payment, the first reality check, you can book hotels only after 45 days of signing in... Which leaves us what, 15 days to book flights & visa? & then the follow up begins..... & continuing as of now.... we pressurizing for early booking..... they letting us know processing delays. Even spontaniety should be planned, & that's a very sad realization.

Some dreams coming true....

I have always been one of those people eager to travel. I have always been one of those people who have never travelled. Okay, so I do make a pleasure trip to some hill station once a yr, & go home about thrice a yr, but that's not travel to me. For the restless soul in me, always wants to go far.. never sure, what that would achieve, but still wanting it. & finally the husband got the hint.. The hardworking husband who would rather sit at home. The one who truly detests any travel, to the point, he does not feel need to go anywhere, & is much content, everywhere!! So for this birthday, he's taking me to UK... :-) 8 days only.. won't take more than a week's leave :-( But what the heck? & the real fun is in the anticipation.. For the seasoned traveller may make discoveries galore.. But the excitement of the first time is unmatched yet!
