Vacation Planning: A Labor of Love

I’ve been burning the midnight oil with Tom as he gears up for the start of football season. I stay up into the wee hours with him and sometimes continue working after he passes out with the kids. What have I been working on so relentlessly? A solid month and a half of travel. In the last two weeks I’ve booked 11 hotel accommodations, 6 plane flights, 4 bus rides, 2 round-trip train tickets and 2 tours. For five weeks we’ll be vacationing in 6 countries and visiting Phan Thiet, Siem Reap, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Singapore, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Tokyo, and Kyoto. My conclusion? Vacation planning is harder than running a fantasy football website.
