I wanted to do the Asia Pass = 23 cities in 21 nights but the lodging would make the trip too expensive for me. I didn't want to spend more than $1500 on the airfare/rooms. Basically all I found in that price range is about 5 nights of travel in HK. That't too short since the flight is about 20 some hours.

Cruises are basically getting tiring to search for me because of the price inflations. I know Princess does cruises for 18 and up but the prices are twice as much as what Carnival charges for the same exact cruisies.

Unless I find a great deal, I'm probably not going to take a celebration trip until I can actually afford a real nice one.
