So many choices

In an earlier post, I've mentioned that we were undecided about our upcoming August vacation. Will it be Manila (to do all the errands and celebrate EJ's 2nd birthday with family) or will it be Phuket (real vacation). Some of my friends suggested we should go to Phuket. We can do the errands later on. Anyway, Manila will always be home.

Just last Sunday while sipping our coffee at Starbucks (and EJ busy playing with the paper napkins and straws) hubby and I talked about families and the importance of it in our lives. Suddenly, there was no issue about where to go on August. We have decided to go to Manila to celebrate EJ's birthday with families and friends. And of course to do the other stuff we need to do.

I know that we have made the decision already but the thought of Phuket and it's beautiful beaches still lingered in my mind. I really really wanted to go to Phuket (or any beach for that matter..hehehe).

While walking aimlessly around the mall, I was hit by a brilliant idea!!! Sure, we can go home on August but surely we also deserve a real treat, right? There is a holiday on the month of May and maybe we can go to Phuket for three days. I checked our budget and we can still afford a short holiday. My hubby also said it is possible. Yipppeee! We're going to Phuket, after all.

Or maybe not. While checking out the resorts and the beaches in Phuket I came across beaches in Langkawi and Redang Island. These islands are also breath taking and the nicest thing is that both are in Malaysia.

I thought I have solved a problem already. But now, I'm swamped with more choices and it's getting difficult to decide. What a mess!
