Good afternoon all. As always, I am keen to draw on the collective wisdom of our community.
It seems that my workplace has decided to 'shut down' for the week of 4 January 2016 with the consequence I am being forced to take some annual leave. Not wanting to let the opportunity pass, I started thinking of places I might be able to travel to for a bit of a relax and new experience. Australia is just so expensive at this time of year. So further afield is being considered.
Do you all have some suggestions for someone with a week or so to kill around this time? I recognize the flights out will be steep but hopefully accommodation will not be too steep (especially in Asia). Given it is only a little over a week a stretch to Europe would be too far afield (as much as I would love it and dream of it again) so perhaps something a little closer to home? As always, if you are aware of any great deals, feel free to share.
Hopefully this thread might of use for those of you with some spare time (and no doubt money) on your hands in the early new year.
