Booy: can share ur package price and iti with mi?? hee...

 

[ds_gerl]

booy> can share with me ur europe pkg as well?

[happy106]

Just came back from meeting sianz..

So many people interested in my package ah.. Initially wanted to take SA tour 12 days package then extend prob 2 days at the end.. But there is a need to pay extra $350/pax for extension. It's super not worth it.

So now we buy our own air tickets, flying by Emirates... Then I will take SA tour 12 day land tour, mainly to Italy -> Switzerland -> France.. 1 day F&E in Rome, join the tour then 2 days F&E in Paris. Using the $700 and the savings that I got from flying Emirates, it is sufficient to pay for the hotel stay of the 3 F&E days.. This way it is cheaper and I have extra 3 free days..

The itinerary of the land package is exactly the same as the 12 days package that is published at SA tour website.. Only thing is that you need to look for suitable air tix on your own..

Aveline, Alicia> Must have the "Just do it" attitude.. Come back then look at my credit card and cry.. haha...

 

[alicia_yong]

Booy> So total airfare costs u how much incl of taxes?

 

[happy106]

Alicia> No promo price of SA tour is around $3100 and land tour is around $2500 if I rem correctly.

Air tix + tax is around $1200/pax..

 

[alicia_yong]

Booy> Den wat abt the hotel stays? Included in the land tour too or gotta book urself?

 

[happy106]

Land tour will be exactly the same as the usual tour excluding air tickets.. So meals and hotels are included in the 12 days..

 

[thommy]

booy: ESTD...$$$ is major prob lor

 

[kelle]

Booy..wow that's about 3700 for your package?

 

[bluerosie]

[alicia_yong]

Morning all~ TGIF!

Booy> So nice to be able to go europe for HM. =)

 

[happy106]

randyce> I hope I can be one of the toto winner as well.. Then more LV/Gucci/Miu Miu bags for me to buy in Europe...

Japan is only slightly cheaper..

Darrel> My hubby is writing the list now.. We are still trying to get all the items into the agenda for AD.. Then assign the task to each and everyone.. There are a lot more small little tasks like tea ceremony helper, buffet setup manager, coordinator for the day activities, person to call up the PG/VG/MUA etc... So many misc tasks...

NATAS fair is too late for me.. And usually the travel dates is for Apr onwards..

Chrissy> Think in total about $10K for the extra hotel stay and food for the entire 15 days... Well, this is excluding shopping..

Alicia> This HM is not within the inital budgeting.. But now we just fork out extra to go for a well deserved trip..

 

[kelle]

I have nt think of the list yet..But I think mine will be simple than U guys..

As for HM, I dare nt think of Japan or Europe..If can get few days leave n rest, will be gd enough

Booy : 10K...Think I will hestitate for spending this figure..ah

 

[avelinekoh]

Booy: i wish i have the courage like u and hubby.. i'll feel down knowing I will come back poorer...haha...

 

[happy106]

Snoopy, Aveline> This shall be a once in a lifetime thing to feel soooo poor... hahhaha..

 

[mspiggy85]

booy: haha cos if i go europe confirm will bring back alot of LV/Miu Miu/Prada stuff... same as aveline will be very down when i come back so much poorer....
but i think if go japan also bad choice cos bf will bring back alot of their street labels hahaha

darrel: yup yup natas fair next weekend at expo... thinking of going down to see see look look whether gt nice package anot...

 

[kelle]

Booy : tat true..to be broke once in a lifetime..hahaha

 

[chrissy03]

Booy - 10k!! wow... can't bear to spend that kind of money now meh..

 

[happy106]

"Just Do It!" hahhaha...

 

[kelle]

I can said U are brave to do it...

 

[happy106]

Just bite the bullet and dun look at my bank account..

 

[darrelandgeri]

back from the new house ... waiting for the ikea delivery + cleaning the windows... i gave up after cleaning one section... cos the outside very hard to clean, and after cleaning the inside, still look dirty cos the water stains are all outside. :S

well.... quick, expand the list then everyone can tap the resource =P

booy > go there buy more LV, come back to sell on e-bay and cover the costs ... =P ... so yours is switzerland/italy/france + F&E in Paris ?

anyway can't just bite the bullet, dun look at bank account, and book... cos bank account empty liao

later come back, the flat kenna repossessed.

japan is about as expensive as europe.... if you spend like my wife. total for both of us, we spent about 10K excl. her 3 blue label bags.

 

[thommy]

booy: ESTD = easier said than done

10K? you really she de hua man...for me even 5k I also feel heartpain liao.

 

[happy106]

Darrel> That's why it took me three days to wash up... That's excluding packing... zzzz...

F&E in Rome for 1 day, then switzerland/italy/france + 2 days F&E in Paris.. Probably will buy a few nice bags with the intention to sell.. But then in the end I will use it... Then die lah.. hahaha...

Won't be so bad to get your flat repossess lah... Tap deeper into the pockets and fish some $$$ out..

Thomas> It's like that de loh.. Bo Bian.. Must chiong like this once in a lifetime...
