Travel Books and Websites

Its so hard to trust travel websites and books since they have so many adverts by hotels and airlines and they're mainly featured because these hotels and airlines paid to be featured when what i am actually looking for are raw reviews by travellers or reliable sources quipping how good these hotels/hostels really are and whether they're my cup of tea omfg what a very long and windy sentence. You get the drift.

I am wondering whether is it quirky for me to organize my finances in Excel on accomodation and airfares and itinerary and stuff or just go along with the flow. Bring the Visa and the essentials and just GO. I can get very geeky sometimes and annoyingly organised it makes things less fun than i want them to be.

:P

If you are reading this and you couldn't bear the thought i am making a foool of myself by typing random shit over and over again, do kindly leave a link of notable travel websites i can research or simply throw some at me. I want things RAW!


rawrrr.


Okay time to cook lunch for me. Which was the same thing as breakfast. Sliced potatoes with omelette drenched in so-much-oil-and-butter.


I think this is a very nice photo from our outing at Sentosa because she looks like the parrot is going to shoot invisible poisonous venom at her.

fad, you know what, i think it's a good idea to organize your finances on excel, really. at least you'll know how to sort out your budget and you can see where your money is going. but i think you should do it for the basic necessitites like accomodation, food, transportation and expenses but once you're there, just go with the flow.

hmm, i have been to a few websites which provided real feedback by previous guests (i was looking for accommodation then) and it was pretty good. but i dont have the link with me cause it's on my old laptop. but what i did was to google the name of the hotel and just try my luck looking at the various links.

uhmm, i dont think i was of much help but maybe you coul try? hahaha. (:

You're much help! :D hahaha thats what i was thinking too to go to these travel websites just that some of the reviews are sometimes total opposites but i'll probably go with my gut feeling!:D

Yes think i shall use Excel. :P Arigato!

yup, travel sites need ads, take it as two-in-one offer, you get 2 checkout wat u looking for (tho not neccessary informative at times) as well as promo on hotel/airfares haha.

if it is too much oil, cut down lah ;-)

Oil? LOL! If its too expensive especially on hotel/airfares i shall consider swimming to my destination.

Happy New Year to you! :D
