Planning a Taiwan Trip 台灣之旅 1

Finally, a few of my old classmates, 6 of us plus my 2 sons decided to go for a Taiwan trip in March in 2011 next year. According to research, the best time visiting Taiwan is in the month of March because it is in Spring Season and the weather should be cooling but not too cold and is in flowers bloomsome season, some said is the most beautiful season in Taiwan. 

However, we note that by following tour packages are hectic and rushing, we will not enjoy so much if we are to follow the normal tour agent package. Therefore, we all decide to do a DIY trip. As I have been to Taiwan a few years ago, it naturally become my responsibility to plan out the detailed itinerary.

First, I need to work out the flight details to Taiwan, I have 4 options, by Airasia, Malaysia Airline (MAS), China Airline or Eva Air. After comparison, as usual, Airasia is the cheapest one and no need to compare China Airline or Eva Air, both airline are more expensive than MAS. Since this is a budget trip, we aim to maximize value for money, we look for the most inexpensive way of travel. By comparing MAS, it is approximately RM250 cheaper for us to travel with airasia, it can save up to RM2,000. Each one of us need to pay at least RM862.00 only.

Therefore, without hesitation, I booked 8 ticket to Taipei on 15 March to 20 March 2011 via online booking.

Next, is the itinerary, it is not easy as Taiwan has many places to visit ..... I decided to aim at Taipei, northern part of Taiwan and a few interest places. I try to aim for more quality than quantity. ..... but again, it is hard to plan. 

See my next post for my "preliminary itinerary"
