Fly straight through to Chiang Mai. <br /> Floods in Saigon/HCMC? Head for Hanoi. <br /> Sometimes domestic flights can be very cheap, particularly if booked on line. </p> 2010-04-12T20:28:04+10:00 http://www.newyoungtravel.com.au/site/forum_page/viewthread/13/ http://www.newyoungtravel.com.au/site/forum_page/viewthread/13/#When:09:17:17Z <p>Hello Bronwyn here. </p> <p> I was sitting here wondering if we are becoming immune to what is going on around the world when it comes to travel plans.&nbsp; Fiji, Bali and the Pacific Islands all spring to mind with political unrest, terrorism, and Tsunami’s.&nbsp; These things have impacted the local tourism industries of these popular destinations for Australians, but people are still going there. </p> <p> I would be really interested in your thoughts on this topic - does it impact your decision to take up some of the fantastic deals and offers to these places?&nbsp; Are we willing to take more risks these days in our travel because these things are becoming more common and closer to home? </p> <p> Bron </p> 2009-11-12T09:17:17+10:00
