flight boeked and then, what's next step?

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Marita

13 April 2018 | Seychellen, Seychelles

So, we are so far that flights has been reservated and payed. There's no return, we are really going to do it! I get butterflies in my stomack. Wauuuh! Imissed them already. It is october, dark, cold, wet and you just want to roll in corner of the bank in front of fireplace and not getting up until warm spring sun wakes you up. It IS perfect time to daydreaming , and planning your sunny trip. The winter ahead looks much brighter and much shorter,you have lot to do. Where to begin? First I went to sneaking out booking com and see what they have to offer and how much are allocations for 4 persons in both countries. At first climbs checking out Seychellen I was almost stroking to my tong when saw prices. uuups! Did I make mistake? fast checking south-Africa near Johannesburg... puuhh,my heartbeat was stabilisating again. Ok not working out. Have to know more about countries; what is there to see? where would be nice to stay with 4 of us? Seychellen...I didn't even know where they were situated. I just knew that it was veeery expensive to go there, while I was searching honeymoon places year before.
Happy ever after internet: easy way to find lot of information and you can stay in your cozy sofa and getting know your destination countries.

Short info: Seychellen island group lays at Indiaan Oceaan between Africa and India. Madacaskar stays in South. There lives 90 000 people and 90% of them at main island Mahé. hmmm, but where are those most beautiful beaches in the world. If we go there,we have to be able to see them of course! I come fast after truth that Prazlin and La Dique are most popular islands. I search further. Findingother nice this likenatureparks with the biggest coconuts in the world,growing only at this Island, Prazlin.Yes! I want to see them: they are HUGE! can reach 20kg weight...wel,not nice to get on your head thou...This coconut is called COCO de la MER. Situated at Vallee de Mei. so, THAT is an island I want to stay.Back to Booking.com, setting alarm,waiting for few days doing nothing and then starting to get discounts as regular customer. Looking for hotelor appartements.Hotel are just too expensive prices for 4 persons starting from 300 euros for thousands of euros. Checking apartements and self-cathering place. Much better. Prices getting between 80-500 euros per night. Now, fining seaching with child friendly, at the beach, 2 bedrooms and getting closer. I is bumbing up all time and it is one of the cheapest.Lasdt thing to checkis referencies. Place called Chalets Anse Possession getting very hight point and people are pleased in hospitality and ready to help in any ways. also breakfast is possible hier to get served. No more thing, reservated always with possibility to changes. It is long time before we're coming, anything can happen. 5 days are clear, missing stil 2 nights at Seychellen. Those I want to spend at main island. Learned from last trip not to make too busy, so we gonna stay quite near of airport. This was difficult, but days went by and more and more places were full boeked. I felt smoke under my feet. I had to get something. Finally chosen Beau Vallon Bungalows near some of most beautiful beaches too, 1,5 hours from airport. great! sending mail to owner straight away and asking about transport, breakfast etc. got fast answer and she advies me to check boats first. Good hint! But at this point I had no more time...was busy with important project at work. Had to concentrate for that.

Seychellen & South-Africa roundtrip

We're gonna go our first family roundtrip do-it-yourself-way to Seychelles and South-Africa. This because of many difficult years behind and opportunity to make true a promise for your kids (2 of them, who stil living home ) to take them safari once in lifetime, you know. Last year 2016 we got married and went to roundtrip Maledives ans Sri Lanka; just 2 of us. That was also first time no-one of kids with us (we have totally 4, so...). It was amazing trip, hand made trip after many many years no travelling outside of Europe. I'm getting back gribbles and excitement of planning adventures, to be able to see as much as possible of the places you go. That's why I'm startingthis diary from beginning...october 2017, when I saw superdeal offer sent via email. when days getting colder and darker I love to spend time surfin on internet and dreaming...maybe one day. I didn't dare to reservate this one right away, because datums were outside of school vacations and in Holland is just mission impossible to get days free just for a vacation. if you do it, you have to pay heavily for this crime. ;) This is reason is almost mission impossible to make budget trips with family together. So was it also this time.

After one week I have puzzeled financial planning together,got green light from my husband and ready to gamble. Finding out offer again , but...SOLD OUT! can't believe, NO! NO WAY!, I'm surfing deaper into sites of original flightcompany (outside of travelagency pages) and BINGO, found same price during Mai vacation. yes!! reservation, confirm creditcard payment and ready. Trip was booked....no cancellation policy, of course, 518 euro p.p. Amsterdam-Mahé, Seychellen-Johannesburg, South-Africa- Amsterdam, 14 days. Jiihaa, planning can be started.
