We’ve got a date!

We finally have a date for our Manila to Morocco trip!

Mench and I have recently booked our long haul trip, Manila-London-Manila via Qatar Airways, with a brief stopover in Doha, Qatar. Why Qatar Airways? It was the cheapest of all the London flights we canvassed online, with the round trip for 2 coming out at around $2,200. Ouch, that’s the biggest chunk of our budget right there!

So our trip will be from October 3-28 of this year. Some of you might notice that it’s a few days longer than our original itinerary - Mench and I had quite a tussle over how many days our trip would be, and you know who always wins in the end That’s being married for you. But we did add a few “rest days” as some traveler friends mentioned that our itinerary was overly packed, and we didn’t have time to just relax, do some errands like washing your clothes (of course, you bring only 4 days’ worth for such a long trip!), etc.

There have been a few interesting things happening related to the trip, one of them being our talk that we gave at R.O.X. in Bonifacio High Street as part of the “Backpacking, Pinoy Style” series. We’ll give you more updates about that in a separate post.
