Our Taiwan holidays - After thots : Dec-13

Since Shin Yang and myself got married,  we had never traveled anywhere with both side of our family together before.  To me, it seemed like a pretty difficult task to achieve especially if it was going to be a self-planned holiday.  Even when we traveled to Hong Kong with Shin Yang’s parents and Jiun back in 2006, we had just booked a tour package with SA tours and only enjoyed a good 5 days holidays.

With quite good fortune this year, we managed to “synchronize” and get some cheap air tickets to Taiwan during March. We “aggressively” booked the tickets for 9 persons and the longest family holidays duration of 9 days!  In June, we started to book our accommodations and then, planning begun as early as October. 

The entire family was very excited, preparation never seemed to end even to the last moments.  New luggage, winter wear, shoes… the shopping list continued even before we set off to Taiwan.  I finally managed to complete our itinerary 2 weeks before our holidays and was proud of myself on how neatly it was done.

The day finally came for our holidays..  the entire family along with all our parents and sister were there!  We were grateful that things went pretty smoothly and we managed with quite a well balanced of attractions for everyone… For me, to be able to go for such a holiday with the entire family, taking good photographs and enjoying the nice weather were already a great blessing.
