Well this year, I wanted to treat my mother. My mother always wanted to go for a Nile Cruise in Egypt, so this year I decided to go for it.
Again, like most years, I decided on a last-minute scramble to get everything sorted - committing the order in mid-August (that's pretty early compared to my previous holiday plans!). Managed to use my AXP Staff Travel Office services again - saving £290 in the process - the 10% staff discount - which roughly equates to receiving back the VAT on the trip.
Booked a tour with Bales Worldwide, something which has been highly recommended a few times by the AXP Travel Office as well as my mother's work colleagues. Can't wait.
We are leaving on Saturday, 22nd September and returned on Thursday, 4th October - a nice 13 day break! Definitely can't wait for this, although it's not necessarily a break as such - a working holiday to some extent, as definitely a lot to squeeze into the 13 days!!
No doubt, more news to follow, including the tons of photos and video clips I am expecting to take during the trip!
This is my second holiday of 2007 - my first visiting Santorini in May 2007 - during the time I was in Greece. Only registered users can write comments. Please login or register. Powered by AkoComment 1.0! |
