Korea... Wait for me... I am COMING !

After much waiting, suspense and uncertainties, I am pleased n excited to announce… * drums roll * THE KOREA TRIP IS FINALLY CONFIRMED !!! YEAH !!! * fireworks *

Went to the NATAS travel fair (Holiday 2006) at expo today… and booked a 8-days Korea winter tour package from Chan Brothers departing on 17th Dec and returning on 24th Dec.
