We had just returned from our trip to China (barely recovered from jetlag) and I’m back on the hunt for travel deals.  I was going down my very long bucket list when I received an email alert from Chris Myden’s http://www.yyzdeals.com/.  There was a really cheap deal to travel from Toronto to Bangkok for only $850CAD!  Despite the VERY long commute (2 stops & 3 flights over 27 hours), we couldn’t pass it up.  So my husband and I immediately requested for vacation approvals and started trip planning again. 

Tip:  The deal pretty much disappeared after about 10 hours, so you really have to book quickly.  This is often difficult for those who are working full-time.  I kind of took a risk this time and booked before I got my manager’s approval (never done that before, but thankfully it wasn’t an issue in the end).

There is no time to experience post-vacation depression.  I’ve already whipped up a skeleton itinerary:
YYZ -> BKK -> HKG (to visit family) -> Vietnam

I’ve always wanted to travel through Vietnam and now is my chance.
