Bloggers Bunking Bangkok: Flight Preparations

So happens that some time near the end of last year the bloggers started talking about going on a trip. AirAsia was having their promotions again and everyone wanted to make some sorta overseas gathering. We were a tad noncommital in the discussions because it meant diligently keeping check on AirAsia's site for air flights and ticket prices and dates...something that goes over our head.

So we'd left everyone else who was better at following air fares and the such to plan for the dates and all. Only to receive a text from Alex from out of the blue:

"We've bought our tickets. Go buy yours!"

That...was very quick. And we sorta had a wtf moment because we'd never been to the AirAsia site before, so it took us a fair bit of registering, finding our way around the site...We're not saying that we took a long time to do it, but when you're rushing to buy cheap tickets on AirAsia before they run out every second counts. After all, we were expecting someone else to buy the tickets and we pay back actually. Still, managed to get our tickets in time! We're going to Bangkok!

That left us with the problem of accomodation.

Once again, plans were left in the more able hands of others (thanks JL!) while we adopted the (Mostly) Anything Can method. A very easygoing method so long as the place is clean, air-conditioned, moderately priced and near transport or facilities, we're okay.

'Course, this was all planned last year. Then came this year and it was a bit of a problem for the Chief to initially join us for the trip - the timing of the trip wasn't really optimal for the Chief, plus air tickets weren't cheap any more. Fortunately yet another AirAsia promotion came up and other obstacles were settled, so the Chief could make it for the trip as well!

Happy-nya kita. :P All that was left was counting down the days till the trip.
