This coming May, I will be visiting Cambodia with 3 of my friends for 2 days. We decided to go on a whim and did the initial waiting for price fluctuations to best benefit us, decide on hotel and budget.
Mostly because I love planning, I volunteered and used my free time to source for the cheapest hotel that best match our expectations, come up with a general plan of what and where to do after listening to my friend's objective of the tour. We end up estimating around $350-$400 including plane tickets, hotels, tour guides, food and shopping expenses.
I booked the plane tickets, hotels and liase with the tour guides as well as the hotel staff to make sure we are well set when we get there. The expense table was done up and explained and the itinery is almost planned.
All we have to do now is anticipate the tour !
And I am very excited =)
Dun feel like planning?
Let ME plan for you !!
How do we do this?

Third Planning Experience - Singapore
In January 2009 when my mother's friend came to Singapore for a six day visit and my mother asked me to suggest places to go.
I put together a plan for them suggesting places to go and when would be the best time to go there. I also included somethings to do around their hotel. For most of the trip, I accompanied them, along with my parents, to the places of interests and introduced the best of Singapore to them, taking care of admission tickets, traveling tips and food.

Second Planning Experience - Taiwan
In July of 2008, Me and three of my friends decided to go to Taiwan for a holiday. It was a long elaborated process because it was decided 6 months ago and we started sourcing out for tour agencies and keep our budget as low as possible. We ended up decided on a ten day trip with our budget at $2000 including $100 for daily expense while we are there.
I booked the hostel and air tickets, which came to a total of around $700, planned the basic itinery including "things to bring" and day to day breakdown of what we can do. I also included in the planning a map and directions to get to the hostels.
My friends input in stuff they want to do and we compromised and came up with a fairly complete plan that allowed us to maximise our time there and did everything we originally wanted to do and more. Sometimes plans change during the tour as plans do because plans are not meant to be rules to follow, but a guide to make sure the objectives are met.

First planning experience - Malaysia
In December of 2007, Me and two of my friends decided to go to Malaysia for about 4 days. We went to Kuala Lumpur and Genting. We looked at a number of websites before deciding on going with "Five Star Tour" in Singapore. The trip included a great hotel and transport to bring us to Genting. Our budget was around $300.
