Palau, Nha Trang, Sydney, Guam, Hawaii, New Caledonia, Fiji, American Samoa, French Polynesia, and more...

A big change is coming to my life, and now it's time to make a decision. I will soon move back to Korea and travel a lot.

The first stop? I must decide on a summer vacation spot for July!!

There are sooooo many places I want to visit, and they are all good, so it's a such a difficult decision to make..

My first option is Palau. It's only about 5 hours away from Seoul, and there isn't anything to do! I'm sure all I can do there is "rest".

Others in the list are: French Polynesia, Fiji, American Samoa, New Caledonia, Nha Trang and Guam. French Polynesia seems to be the best place by far, while it takes close to 18 hours to get there.

There is no doubt that if there was a direct flight for about 14 hours to French Polynesia, I will not consider any other places.

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Fiji could be the 2nd best option - there is a direct flight with duration of 10 hours. I think it can be a perfect vacation place, while mom's telling us that Fiji wasn't as good as expected, while she was on a golf tour about 5 years ago.

New Caledonia and American Samoa look very good option too, while Guam and Hawaii are more famous vacation places among Koreans.

Some are suggesting Nha Trang, but my concern is that places Southeast Asia are probably hot and humid during summer.

Well, why would it matter if I'm only staying in the hotel room & balcony with AC on? Maybe I'll end up resting at the cheapest place...
