We’re going to Paris on 22 October! We’ve been planning to go to Paris but we keep on postponing the trip due to other important matters (i.e., my brother’s wedding in 2005, walter’s promotion, etc). Thank God, we are finally set. We got our SHENGEN visa yesterday and I am finalizing our itinerary because we are also going to Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany. We decided to drop the London segment of our trip because as I browsed the net, I relized two days will not be enough to enjoy London. It’s quite a difficult decision for me because my mind is already set to visit London and my friends told me that between London and Germany, London is more amazing. In the end, I convinced myself that I should plan a separate trip instead. Most US flights from Doha are via London so if by any chance I go to US, I can easily squeeze in 4-5 days to stop by. In addition, it’s very cold in London right now and the weather is erratic according to our colleagues from URS London. In fact, it’s not the best time to visit France as well but we just couldn’t postpone any longer. Walter’s leave credits will be forfeited if not used this year and the very reason we did not spend our vacation in the Philippines is because of this France trip.
Gosh, I am so excited, I can’t wait to pack my things and board the plane.
