Qatar Airways Cheap Tickets to Philippines
I was told by my Qatar Airways employee friend that they have dropped the prices to their flights in the east. I went online to check the current prices and lo and behold! Cheap prices to the Philippines indeed! For example, an Economy Super Value Plus return ticket on July 30 from Doha going to Manila coming back on August 18 will only set you back for QR 2970 taxes included. I got mine a month ago for QR3700++.
My friend said that it was the Swine Flu scare that brought the prices down. In any case, better start buying those tickets if you intend to fly this month or the next coming months. I just made a quick search for a flight on September and returns on November and the price for the trip, including taxes, is just QR 2570. If you are not yet sure of the exact date of flight, you better get the Economy Standard Value 2 which permits changes to your date of flight. The ticket would cost you QR 2970 but would allow you to freely change you travel dates witihin 6 months.
This is the best time to buy those tickets!!!

2009 Holidays
Ah, about holidays, we are officially off for vacation in the first week of July when Xiane finishes her school as well as Mavis’. We’re off to Malaysia the week after we arrive and a week after that, Mavis and I would be going to Bangkok! Yup, we’d be leaving Xiane with my mom and dad for 5 days. It’s actually my wedding Anniversary gift to Mavis since she has always wanted to go to Bangkok. And since the Malaysia Trip came up, I decided that a trip to Bangkok would be a good gift as any. By the way, it’s going to be our 8th wedding anniversary this May 5, Tuesday. We still intend to “celebrate” it on Thursday/Friday by watching “Wolverine” on the cinema and eating out. Happy Anniv! Going back to vacation, I’m due to be back in the middle of August while Xianelle and Mavis would probably be back mid- September (wink, wink).

Planning for Vacation: Part 1
It seems that vacation is still 3 months away, July, yet it seems so near. We would have wanted to go home earlier since July is rainy season in the Philippines, but with Xiane’s school schedule, we don’t have any choice at all.
With Xiane being older and less worrisome when travelling, we’ve been making some side trips when we’re on vacation. 2 Years ago, we went to Hong Kong to see Mickey and his friends at Disneyland. We were also able to take my family with us as it was a promise I gave my Mom in 1999 as she always wanted to go to Disneyland. Last year, we were able to go and snorkel with the fishes and visit the longest underground river in Palawan. That was an unforgettable 5 day experience indeed.
For those with us in the trip, it seems easy enough to follow the itinerary. But for someone who plans the whole trip, for 8-9 people, it is a tedious job.
Usually, a plan is set 6 months before the actual trip, deciding on where to go and doing the research, budgeting and planning. It also doesn’t hurt that some low cost airlines gives free seats once in a while. AirAsia had their seat sale last December, I think, but we haven’t really decided where to go yet so I missed that one. We were thinking of going to Bangkok or Malaysia but by February, Mavis and I settled that we might not be able to do an extra trip this year. However, my Mom blurted out that they were planning to go to Hong Kong Disneyland again since she missed the fireworks and got sick when we were there. So I started with the research and initial budgeting. It seems that their funds and our funds wouldn’t quite meet the needed budget plus there were some concerns that it would just be a repeat of our trip before. That didn’t really bother me, Mavis or even Xiane, who wanted to ride the Buzz Lightyear again. With Mavis and I, we love Hong Kong and seems that we feel we’ve connected with the city. We love the transportation, the food, the walking, the shopping, and everything else. But I digress. Having a more set budget, we set our sights to our original plan, Bangkok or Malaysia.
