Few months ago, I happened to see the Lonely Planet's Central Australia in the public library new collection. I checked out the travel guidebook and started to plan our trip. As I sat down and invited my friend to go, I was told that his family had already planned to visit Singapore . Translation: my plan didn't work out.
Like most – maybe all – travel plans, mine worked out by itself. "Wouldn't it be so much easier if we visit Singapore together? Then we can fly directly into Darwin Airport ; there isn't direct flight from our town to Darwin ." We ended up fixing a medley of itineraries, including my friend's family, and that of his brothers, dad and mum, all the way to Singapore Zoo, Legoland in Malaysia , and our two families' last stop in Darwin , Litchfield National Park , followed by World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park .
I didn't say it is logical, I said it happens. And it works.
