Hello there papel!
I am now on the most crucial phase of my pre-trip ritual which is the creation of our travel itinerary. I personally call this as the make or break part because poor planing could lead to chaos. I need to make sure everything are planned properly but at the same time keeping in mind that of course not everything will turn out as planned.
I know that this is a jam packed itinerary and it might feel like we're part of "The Amazing Race", well you can't blame me I just want to make the most out of our trip.
I've collated all the information I read online and some are recommendations from my friends including Accommodations,Fares,tourist spots, distance from 1 place to another etc.
The itinerary is yet to be proven but feel free to use this as a guide.
I will be posting our actual trip story soon :)
