Did some calculations today - some serious head-whacking math work. It's going to cost us $4500 together for our 15 day trip to Japan! According to Japan-guide.com, that is considered a LUXURY trip. A budget trip is pretty much half of what we have planned out. However, I justify this by saying "this is our first trip out of Australia... and we deserve the best money can buy!" I shall slogan that.
Well we are travelling Jetstar with added leg room $78, comfort packs $14, entertainment packs $48! hahaha! talk about budget travelling :D
Miss A works day and night, often up to 10 days in a row of 6am starts and 1 hour tram rides home. She has sacrificed heaps to attend this trip comfortably and in my opinion, she has rights to travel as luxuriously as she likes.
The only thing about the added leg room is that we are pretty much 'exposed'. I like the feeling of being boxed in...you know, when there is a seat in front of you and you can put your makeup on or take it off or look hideous (due to altitude) and no one can see you. BUT after my trips on Airasia, it gets so frustrating when you have no room to move around in. I'm sure, with the added leg room, we'll be able to sleep on the 9 hour flight.
It's voting time tomorrow. I'm wondering who to vote for. I haven't actually been following the election campaign. So here's my two cents (and its not the very intelligent version either):
1) I like Julia Gillard because:
- she's a woman.
- she was deputy PM.
- She s strong-willed.
- She speaks well.
- She hasn't had a full term to prove her worth.
- She didn't want to move into the PM's house. Modest.
- but She can't answer a direct question.
2) I like Tony Abbot because
- he's liberal.
- but he's against abortions.
- but he's creepy.
So... i'm confused right now.
I may as well leave the headfuck on who to vote for tomorrow. I'll do it on a whim...
I love having this little blog to write down my thoughts and feelings... it's nice to get them out in the open. Sometimes I tell people what I think and then I have to listen to their opinion of what they thought about it, and sometimes these can be quite lengthy. When I write it on here, I can tap the POST button, dust my hands and be done with it. Like the time when I told Mr.V about a friend who let lose their LARGE dog into a nature park instead of taking it to the pound (where there was a 99% chance that it would be put down due to the dog's large size and reduced adoptability). Then conversation took a turn and I, instead, copped a lecture about having no responsibility in owning a dog and that my friends are bad. The conversation lasted for about 30minutes of me, nodding my head and him getting more fired up. He loves dogs, you see.
Mr Doggie looked something like this.
I simple said "oh... yes. I understand exactly what you mean." and that was the end of that nightmare.
But I still love him to bits!
