38 sleeps to go
Just under 6 weeks to go - it's going to go quickly. Have been tossing up whether to go on this trip for quite a few months. Found a cheap fare and decided I need to go see my friends. In the last week, we've booked tickets, organised a kennel for the puppy, worked out our rough itinerary and read through pages and pages of comments on the internet.
Rough itinerary is - Brisbane to Bangkok (via Sydney), 3 nights in Bangkok, then Bangkok to Dubai (via Bahrain) for a week, then Dubai to Damascus for 12 days, then back to Bangkok for another 3 nights, then back home to Brisbane.
Trying to find accommodation for Syria - travelling partner doesn't like leacing things until we get there and all the hotels I can find on the net cost big dollars! We'd be ahppy with under US100 per night - but a reasonable degree of comfort (he's got a bad back) - anyone got any ideas??
