London eye?

I know what he is referring to. I am just wondering what makes him think that it is one of the main attractions.

Buckingham palace / changing of the guard
Tower of London
Big Ben / houses of parliament
British library
Natural history museum
Tate modern
Victoria and Albert
Shakespeare theatre
Imperial war museum (holocaust exhibition)
And many many more...

If you could only visit one place in Asia - Where would it be?

meshugener · « **Reply #462 on:** August 12, 2013, 08:29:19 PM »

Islamabad.

Ok, Thailand seems nice reading AJK's and Rots' TR, no?

Depends on your likes, the points you want to use, etc.
I don't think you'd go too wrong with any of the hot spots, CNX/HKG/NRT/PEK/PVG/SIN, etc.
Really should try to hit up more than one though after such a long flight.

I'll be in HKG in Oct from a Tuesday to Monday afternoon, would like to go someplace after for a day or two small vacation. Suggestions?

I'm thing CNX just because of Rots and AJK's TRs?
Is it worth going to the Maldives for two days?
How is Singapore for two days?

Just throwing out some ideas I was thinking

TIA

You won't go wrong with any of the options you mentioned.
3 truly awesome (albeit very different) places.

AJK · « **Reply #467 on:** August 20, 2013, 03:38:21 PM »

Trip options:

DPS (Bali) + SIN;
SYD;
AKL;
Palawan/Boracay

I figure I'd go for about two weeks total.

Thoughts?

I'd dying to do a 2 week trip to NZ. Make me jealous and do it right

I am still looking for Trip Ideas for Sukkos. It's slam in the middle of Monsoon season, so Thailand is out right?

What do you guys recommend?

I prefer Asia'ish places.

Palawan/Boracay look really cool.
I have some family in the Philippines which would be nice to visit.

Based on the SE Asia TR, i don't think he can do any wrong.

But which option would be the best for only a day or two? I feel that the maldives would be too short of a stay? Should I just stick with CNX or is two days good enough for Singapore? (Would like to go to Singapore the most).

So out of curiosity, isn't this thread and This thread basically the same?

Why two threads with about the same topics?

Was hoping to get to the South Pacific on this, but I guess I better strike while the iron is hot, no?

It is largely the same. RTM it?

I think you'll manage to find a good routing to AKL even without that.

True. One of the advantages of flying to that region...

Need to bump this due to the merge.

(I was against the merge because a trip is not always a vacation)
