The Year in Travel 2024: Ha Giang, Capella, and Linda's 30th
2024 in travel: 32 days total, two major trips (Hong Kong/Vietnam at £6,400 for two, Crete at £900 each), smaller European weekends (Edinburgh, Tuscany, Stockholm, Dublin). Ma Pi Leng Pass at 7am on a motorbike with mist in the valley was the single best moment. Capella Hanoi proved the four-night minimum rule for luxury hotels. The Crete villa proved group villas are the best value in travel. Total household spend: £10,700. Three lessons: four-night splurge minimums, motorcycle riding compounds year on year, and planning is love.
