It is now September. Time to decide where to go for the year end holidays. Okay, maybe it is a bit last minute. Heard from a fren that trips to the Maldives in December are now fully reserved. They might have to be put on the waiting list.

Anyway, was thinking, maybe we can visit places with a Wonder on each trip. Hiak. So I happily go to Yahoo search engine, and key in the search words "Seven Wonders of the World". I have no freaking idea that there are more than Seven! Heehee. Am I the blur one?
