JUST BOOKED MY FLIGHT TO ASIA FOR LATE OCTOBER AND I AM STOKED! PASSPORT IS GOOD THROUGH 2015, SO BETTER MAKE SOME USE OF IT NOW.
EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER OFFICIALLY TRIED AIRBNB, I MAY HAVE TO ACTUALLY TRY TO GO THROUGH THEM THIS TIME AND HOPEFULLY BE SUCCESSFUL!
THIS WILL BE MY SECOND TRIP TO ASIA AND HAPPY TO NOTE THAT I WILL BE VISITING NEW COUNTRIES IN ASIA. WHERE AM I GOING? HONG KONG AND MAYBE THAILAND!
THE LAST TIME I WAS IN ASIA, I VISITED MAINLAND, CHINA THROUGH A TRAVEL AGENCY TOUR GROUP. THEY HELPED WITH MY VISA. THANK GOODNESS A VISA IS NOT NEEDED IN HONG KONG NOR THAILAND. CHINA IS RUNNING SOME $99 TOUR/DEAL PROMOTIONS WHERE HOTEL, FOOD, TRANSPORTATION AND TOUR GUIDE ARE PROVIDED. BUT I FIGURED, ITS TIME TO HIT SOME NEW "HAPPENING" AREAS.
TOOK A FEW DAYS TO COMPARE FLIGHTS AND THROUGH A FAMILY FRIEND, RECOMMENDED A TRAVEL AGENT. I WAS SUGGESTED TO ASK FOR THE "BULK RATE" WHEN SPEAKING TO THIS TRAVEL AGENT IF I DID NOT CARE TO COLLECT REWARD POINTS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT YOU CAN ALSO HAGGLE WITH THEM TOO! ABLE TO KNOCK OF $42 OFF A TICKET COMPARED WITH WHAT I WAS SEEING ONLINE. FLYING UNITED AIR. SEARCHING THIS FLIGHT 50 DAYS BEFORE THE FLIGHT DATE AND THE CURRENT RUNNING PRICE FOR THIS PRICE IS $1112 PER TICKET ON THE UNITED AIR SITE.
ALSO REMEMBERED THAT I STILL HAVE THIS UNIVERSAL POWER PLUG ADAPTER THAT I BOUGHT FOR MY SPAIN TRIP. HOPEFULLY I CAN STILL USE THIS UNIVERSAL ELECTRIC PLUG IN HONG KONG AND THAILAND!
