Traveling

I don't know anyone who doesn't love to travel except my father. Traveling's really not something "new" to him because it's what he does for a living here. He just wants to stay home during his vacation period (it's a month-long break every other 4 weeks). For the past 19 years, he's been to 90 cities in 36 different countries! Sometimes we get so worried since they can be assigned to really dangerous places like the Middle East but my dad assures his safety all the time  because their company is so "paranoid" they don't hire "normal" pilots for their 24/7 helicopters on-guard and ship captains, but from their HQ's country's air and naval forces. Sossss-EEE! Kayo na!

ANYWAY, stating the reason above, I've never been to a lot (really, dad. How ironic!). I was never allowed to travel with other people and my mom doesn't want to go to a different country without my dad (aww, I know right). It's ironic that my first international trip was in 2009! The following year, my dad decided to bring the entire family to Hong Kong and Macau for a vacation then a week after, we found ourselves in HK already. Halleluiah!! It was the start of something new! Then a few days after our trip, I was lucky enough to get an American visa that my father applied for me and my 2 siblings. I got to use it last September and it was definitelyyyyy the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The number of exclamation points can't even explain. My cousin is getting married to our other cousin next year (hopefully) so I'm planning to go there again, if money allows. Yun lang naman yun eh. Haha!

And since then, I'd like to make it a point to travel another country at least every year, even if it's just a "stone's throw away".

A vague list of places I'd like to visit in the next 5 years:

Seoul, Korea

Target Year: December 2011. Hahahaha! Guys, lezgo!

Las Vegas, Nevada and more states like Illinois, DC, Florida and Oregon (WHY Oregon? Di ko rin alam eh. Haha!)

Target Year: Mid-Late 2012.

Tokyo, Japan

Target Year: 2013? LOL

Amsterdam, Netherlands and other parts of Europe

Target Year: 20WhenICanAlreadySpend$20kOnATrip

That's about it. It's all I can think of right now. The last one, I hope I can save up for in 10 years or else.. lola na ko when I go there! Sayang lang.
