As I probably told everyone I wanted to take some sort of overseas trip before starting work full time. Unfortunately I left things too late and all the flights to South-East Asia were booked out and/or really expensive (I don’t want to pay more to fly to Bangkok that I would to fly to LA). It really just left 2 options: New Zealand and Fiji – neither seemed all that exciting (compared to everywhere else) as they’re both relatively cheap and quick to fly to. It’s also the wrong season to go to Fiji but it has a different culture and I’m a tropical holiday type of person so I decided I would go anyway- now the poor Fijians have had a natural disaster.
I really don’t think I want to go anymore – the tour company I booked with hasn’t cancelled the tour (I’m sure they’re leaving it until the last minute to do so) so I’ll end up paying a huge cancellation fee and same goes for the flights (which I can only get credit for rather than a refund). Everybody also seems to have parties planned for the time I’ll be away and it might not be so easy to hang out with my Newcastle friends after I move. I’ve also just started getting over my irrational fear of sharks so I don’t want to leave my sunny waterfront home (which I only have 2 weeks left to enjoy) to head to cyclone central. Anyway I should really quite my whining considering unlike others I haven’t lost my home, business or (worst of all) a loved one due to the floods.
I just don’t know which option to pick. Should I just cancel and stay home or go anyway?
Janers, I’m sorry, I’m a bit out of the loop. But which job did you take? And who are you living with in Sydney? This is very exciting.
Sounds like you want to just stay home and chill. If you can cancel and get your money back, maybe you should do that and save up for a place you really wanna go?
I can get some of it back. I took the first job and am moving to Syd on the 1st Feb with my sis.
Fierce.
Stay home, party with your friends before you move to Sydney and use the credit from your flights to go somewhere you really want to go.
What Joders said.
Lucky I didn’t listen to anyone’s advice – I’m to cheap to lose money on anything.
I’m glad you had such a fab time. It looked beautiful. Now you can start saving for your next holiday!
