Anni Adventures

EDIT. Sorry but this was long overdue. I'm already back from my trip and am busy planning my NEXT trip!

In exactly one week time, I will be headed off to VEGAS! I am pretty excited. I haven't been there for years and this time I will be able to have a lot more fun because I will be of age this time around.

One of my objects for this trip was to do as much as we could while being smart about where we're spending our money. After tons and tons of research. I've managed to save quite a bit. It is not without help from friends and families though.

One of the best ways to get free comps when in Vegas is to play MyVegas on Facebook. I was told about this last year by a friend and never really started to play until I finally set a date for Vegas. Which was only about a month and a half ago. In the short amount of time played. I managed to save up enough for a free KA Cirque Du Soleil ticket and NYNY roller coaster ride. There's still a week left so I may still be able to get even more comps. MyVegas has other rewards in Vegas such as free hotel room, free show tickets, free buffet tickets and more. This is DEFINITELY worth the time put in. But you also have to be smart about it.
There are various groups on Facebook and online that dedicates to sharing links to more coins to play with. There are even the monthly free 1000 LP points.

The Facebook group to join: myVEGAS Gifts, Guides & Giveaways

For our other show, Penn and Teller, we were able to get cheaper tickets through Travelzoo, which is similar to Groupon. the tickets ended up being $65 per person.

For food in Vegas, there were a few websites that we looked at. They provided some of the best deals and had many options to choose from.

For our buffet dinner however we found our deal off Groupon. The day we bought it, there was a discount code for an additional 15% off. Which worked in our favor.

Hopefully, all this gives those of you planning on going to Vegas an idea of how to save when you're there. A little time put in beforehand can really save you a lot of money~!

So since I have nothing better to do right now and really long overdue for a post, I just wanted to say how excited I am for my trip coming up in five days.

Ill be spending ten days in Cambodia on a short term missions trip with my church ECBC, helping out three churchs in Phnom Penh. We'll mostly be dealing with children.

After that i'll be heading to Sri Lanka for eight days to attend a good friends wedding.  The best thing is ill be able to see so many university friends that I hadn't seen in over a year. Well be travelling around the island too with elephant rides and safari scheduled. I'm most looking forward to the elephant ride.

After that, its off to Taiwan for a week. Its very short lived, which I regret since I love Taiwan with all my heart. But ill be traveling to taichung with my parents and hoping to catch up with some other university friends in Taiwan at the time. Most of all, ill finally be to show respect to my grandpa's grave. Something I've been wanting to do for almost two years now. A decision back then not to return that brings tears to my eyes everytime I think about it.

A three and a half week trip that will go by so fast, it'll feel like its ended before its even started.

I look forward to posting about it.
