I woke up to the sound of the sea and a cool breeze wafting in as I spotted my parents conversing in the balcony. There were SO MANYYYYYYY activities we had planned today, I doubted we’d even be in our room! As one of my classmates proclaimed, “On the cruise, the only time you are in your room is when you wake up and when you sleep”. We had booked a myriad of activities on Day 2, ranging from swimming to acrobatics shows to dancing!

Day 1- My dad informed us that we would be traveling to India in two weeks. I was SUPER-OVERECSTATIC!!

Day 5- My dad informed us that we would not be traveling to India as the Omicron cases were rising drastically…I was SUPER-OVERSORROWED!!

Hello People! Last week, many countries eased up the border restrictions and hence we saw a silver lining and were overjoyed by the mere fact that we would be able to travel again. But this contentment was short-lived. By the time the world found a way to deal with Delta variant, Omicron emerged, unfurling a fresh wave of panic. The discussion about whether to travel or not had gained the center stage. I, in my own territory, began reminiscing about the holiday destinations and suddenly I remembered Bali in Indonesia. I had heard about Bali being home to looming volcanoes, soft-white beaches, water sports, religious sites, and culinary delights. Let me share my experience with you.

Drenched throughout, I got into the car, grumbling about the rain. There were tiny worms in my hair, possibly a product of the deluge that I had just gone through. However, a tiny part of me could not help feeling happy. A corner of my mouth lifted, and I started to smile as I remembered the unique experience that we just had…

3 years ago, our trip to Langkawi was planned out of the blue. It was a short and memorable trip, might have been one of the best trips I ever had. Let me walk you through this trip to lively Langkawi!

As I scrolled through the album on my mum’s phone, I came across a beautiful picture of us in Australia. This was a picture of us on Surfers Paradise Beach in Gold Coast (Happy times !). I began to reminisce about our amazing trip to Australia…

When my father finally announced proudly that he had managed to buy tickets to Brisbane, I spent the next two days battering him with questions and squealing excitedly. I spent a lot of time carefully crafting a travel itinerary listing down the places to visit. The next few weeks were spent planning and packing clothes and necessary supplies. As it was a 10-days trip, my mum was extra cautious with her checklist. We had a fairly turbulent flight journey, but I handled it well. We landed in Brisbane and from there we drove to Gold Coast. The entire time, I was staring out of the window , completely bowled over the magnificent panorama. It took us almost an hour to reach Gold Coast.
