Where are you going next?
 

I must travel to Asia vicariously this year, as my plans will take me to Africa instead (I'll be back to Asia in 2008).
Until then, I'd love to hear what trips people are planning to Asia in the coming months.

So, tell us: Where are you going next??

Also ging to Africa later this year...back to Asia in 2008 for me too!!

Sri Lanka February or March 2008.

Back to Japan in late April early May 2008 with either Bali/Thailand or Singapore/Thailand thrown in.

Aloha!

Thailand (first Asia trip for me!) in May/June.

China towards the end of next month, then something else this year, before back to Thailand in Feb 2008.

Australia in NOvember

Bangkok/Luang Prabang/Hanoi/Hong Kong in November...and it can't come soon enough!

I know I'll be in Bangkok in November. We haven't decided our new destination - we're doing research on Bhutan, Sri Lanka and even considering (again) Burma. I've also thought about the Pandaw Mekong cruise... So many places, so little time!

Where in Africa? I love being in Africa. It just takes more time,planning, and money when I go there than when I go to Asia. Happy Travels!

Ohhh, so many great trips coming up. I can't wait for the trip reports.

Tracy- Where in Africa are you going?

Kathie & Craig- Can't wait for the reports from Sri Lanka, as its on my list for '08

filmwill- I went to LP and Hanoi last year and LOVED both places. You'll have such a great time!


Guenmai- I'm going to South Africa and to Botswana to visit a friend from college that moved there recently. I wanted to visit Senegal as well because the flight stops there, but I just don't have enough vacation time.You are correct that travel arrangements in Africa are not as easy or as inexpensive as in Asia!

With a broken & sprained ankle not predicted to heal until July, I'm sticking closer to home this year - likely taking the train across Canada, with stops at least on each coast and in the Rockies. (I'm trying to decide whether to head north to visit the polar bears as well.) But I'm really hoping (and starting to plan) to finally make it to Central Asia next year, maybe finishing in Tibet.

Shanghai for a month this summer to study Mandarin at Fudan University. I can hardly wait!

Thailand next feb and then either a return to India or a return to Japan.

Singapore, Siem Reap, Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Rai...in August.

BKK and Chiang Mai for (unfortunately, only a week) end of May, then Dubai, Kenya, Rwanda(for gorillas!) in late Oct.

I will be back in Thailand this summer, probably by myself. I think April will stay home since I will be going for a funeral. A friend just got out of the hospital here in the US, and is returning back home to Thailand to live out the last few months, so it won't be a happy trip :(
We did south africa last year, I hope everyone has a MUCH better time than we did! Not our cup of tea at all.

Maybe Borneo, thanks to Kathie`s trip report. I just don`t know about that long flight. And I thought Bangkok was a long flight! We did stop at Narita, which made it more tiring.

Kenya in August (hopefully right on time for the Great Migration in the Masai Mara), with a few days in Paris en route.

Trying to figure out 2008 now. Currently narrowed down to about a dozen places I must go (Botswana, Hong Kong, Japan, Beijing but not for the Olympics, Krakow, and several others), of which I'll have the time & funds for probably 1/3.

Going to BKK in July on my own, 9 days only... I know, too short.

Maybe a trip back to Thailand sometime later in the year as well.

One of these days, I've got to expand my SE Asia travels to include places other than BKK!!

Carol

Possibilities include Argentina or Peru this June. Slight possibility of Singapore/Langkawi in July if we do not go south in June.

Already took my trip for this year- Budapest, Vienna and Prague.

Next year planning for Rome in Spring and Vietnam in Summer! I'm already planning...:-)

With Bangkok Airways starting direct flights to Pakse next month, I'm planning to explore Southern Laos soon.

- Alaska in June
- Chile in August (work)
- Pushing for India or Tanzania in December, but don't think I can sell the boys on the long flight; we might end up back in Mexico.

cruisenred it wil be Kenya if our booking all goes well...in September!!

Mexico City, Vietnam, Iceland

Bangkok - Bali - Java in early June.

SW USA starting next monday for 3 weeks including the GTG in pasadena, CA on may 5...

romania for a couple of weeks in october, followed by a week in england...

cambridge in early october if i can get my shots in time....

as many thai restaurants as i can is the best i can do for asia at least for the rest of this year....

the boss retires on july 2 so we will see what happens after that...

bob

In 10 days we are making our 3rd trip to Costa Rica for 16 days. Husband also retires this year. He has chosen to celebrate with a transatlantic sailing that visits a few places he was stationed at when he was in the service - including England, Norway, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Canada and ends in NYC. Time there at the end and in London before the cruise. Son has chosen a cruise on one the the giants with Rock Climbing wall etc. for his 21st birthday present. Will add another 10 days to go birding along the cost after the cruise. Then back to Asia - to India this time.

Nice thread! I love to hear what my Fodors friends are planning!

Alaska this summer

Argentina, Chile and Uruguay for 4+ weeks in Oct/Nov

Most likely heading to Cambodia as a volunteer in December so I will stop and visit friends in Chiang Mai and then "my village" in Laos, since I will be "in the neighborhood."

We land in Bangkok in exactly 2 months from now. We are going to Hua Hin and Bangkok.

Congratulations kmk!!!

Russia in June with my sister. River cruise from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Hopefully, also a trip to Peru with daughter - no date yet.
Next Asia trip will be China, probably next spring.

I just got home from China and Korea and am already thinking about BKK /Luang Prabang/Hanoi/Hoi An next January. I feel very fortunate to be able to do all this traveling now!

Well, I just got done interpreting a private meeting with Sylvia Brown, that psychic woman from Montel, I should of asked her where I was going to travel this year. Then I could of reported to you for sure when and where I was going this year. Because she can see everything, right? :)

Hi
