My plan of writing and travelling

I decided to write something, just anything - one hour a day. It's not too long but it's not easy to keep this to be a habit. I am writing daily journal but it does not take much time because I write only three sentences at once. However, I missed some when I wake up late or just do something else instead. To make writing a habit, I need more discipline and the priority in each action. So to make this writing habit a reality, I wrote a note to remind myself of the task I need to work on. So after an hour writing, I will have a relax time doing anything I want, such as surfing facebook, reading news, or watching Youtube videos.

By the way, I'm planning to go to Laos and this will be a great trip because I've been to Thailand before and I have some experience in going abroad. After a while looking around and calculate the cost and time, I decided to go to Vientine and Vang Vieng only, and not go to Luang Prabang because it's too far and will take too much time. I will be in Vientian 1 and a half day and Vang Vieng for 1 and a half day. That's a whole four days including travel time in Laos. So I will take three days off and with two days in weekend, I will have total of five days.

Day 0

From HN at 18:00

Day 1

To Vang Vieng at 18:00
Get a bed
Go around the town

Day 2

Still go around the town

Day 3

Check out the hostel and head to Vientine
Get a bed
Go around the city

Day 4

Still go around
Get a bus to HN at 17:00

Day 5

Back to HN at 17:00
Take a rest and prepare for the work

While this plan seems to work, I still need more details on the time and the plan B if any unexpected things might pop out. The travels from HN to Vang Vieng and back both take a whole day, so it will be tired and I need to prepare quite a bit. Water and food, and clothes, and even toilet paper are crucial for the journey. I will prepare some money also, I already have some dolars, and now I need some Kips. The travel cost is about one and a half million vietnam dongs. So I will limit the total budget within four million vietnam dongs - that's quite a handsome money budget for just three days in Laos because three and a half million vietnam dongs is really enough for both acommodation, food, and tickets. The only problem now is how to find a good initerary to make the most out of this trip. I need to explore the city, the nature, and talk to people. There is also a great chance to meet people around the world, I can make some friends along the way.
