It's always nice to plan a vacation for me. Wherever it is. I have a dream to travel as many as I can. As long as I am strong, healthy, and wealthy enough to do so. It doesn't mean that I have to be rich with a lot of money to travel to some places. The only rich thing I have is will. My head full of plans to beautiful places. Well, at these times, who doesn't? Just because of things we call, budget, time, and job then people can only imagine the travel.
My friend told me this, "If travelling was free, you wouldn't see me." lol
Sometimes, the consideration of going to places isn't only about the beauty. It also about the memory we want to reignite. Just like me and my friend, Mba Puji. We started over with simple conversation of how we miss the nuance of our college hood. We always miss walking in the wood, hearing the voices of birds, insects, or wind blows. I live in a small city that sometimes sleeps so it's a rare situation to face here. Well there are another insane ambition to visit some national parks. How come we are the alumni of forestry faculty but we've never go to any of those fifty tremendous national park? lol.
No clue at all at the first time. It's just a simple light chat between us. But then, okay, based on our tremendous (lol) survey we both do then we decided that we planned to go to Banyuwangi, East Java because there are three national parks nearby to each other. We both are searching in the net to find the easiest and cheapest way to visit all three national parks. Meanwhile, we also persuade some of our friends to go with. Some friends are interested and agree to join but then one of them resigned. From 5 to 8 personnel then it only left 3 of us. Me, Mba Puji and Bulek. What a heart broken. But the dream must go real, I said to myself. I already contacted some tour agents who most of them consider me as "Mas" :D. Based on the responses and itinerary they gave us then we decided to go with Kemunir.
I believe that there are always beautiful blue sky after dark clouds and thunder. Bulek told me that her friend, Mba Anay would like to join us also. Nice beginning. Another day, Bulek texted me and said that her friend is interested to join, her name is Mba Ibeth but she needs to tell her husband first. What a lovely wife. Not so long after, we had the good news. Her husband let her go with us (yeay!). After that, her husband joined too and Mba Rini, Bang Zul, Mba Doly, Bu Uroh in a last minute. We also suggested Kemunir to make an open trip. They made it two members. It's done! Twelve persons in a row!
After that, our days become so nice, surrounded with happy conversation in a chat room "Trip Banyuwangi". We couldn't wait the time to come, 1 January 2015. We didn't care about new year like I usually did hehe.
Banyuwangi must have been wonderful. Our thoughts. Will we regret?
