Glad for a break away

Wednesday, March 25, 2009

After so long of not having a holiday, I'm glad that we'll be finally heading out for one in a few weeks. I'm really pleased with making the trip, but the one thing that bothers me is that we won't be bringing the love of my life with us - my boy.

We're headed to Bangkok for a massage and shopping break for a couple of days. Bangkok is not one place I'm comfortable to bring the little boy along, so we'll have to leave him with the grandparents while we go away. I'll definitely be missing him like crazy every single day. But what to do, I think we really need some time away for a break.

I look forward to 3 things during the trip ahead. Firstly, I need to just be away and take my mind off work and stress. Then of course, there's the shopping, if things are affordable still. Thirdly, I could do with some good foot and back massages since they come rather cheap and easily in Bangkok.

Shopping wise, a friend was hoping that I could help her find UGG boots there for less than what they would cost in Australia. I've never heard of this brand, but I'd just keep an eye out for it. Unlike our previous trip years back where our aim was to get some wedding shopping done, this trip there will be rather clueless in terms of a shopping list. So it's going to be a lot of walking aimlessly about just to browse and see what catches our fancy. I got a feeling we're gonna be shopping more in the kid's department this time.

The flights and accommodation have been booked. But guess what? I've forgotten to put in my leave application! I better do it tomorrow first thing when I get to my desk. How could I forget such an important task, huh?
