Tips

If you need more time in any location, consider adding a day or two to explore nearby attractions—such as the Blue Mountains from Sydney, or the historic town of Jiufen from Taipei. To shorten the trip, you could skip Singapore’s Sentosa Island day and combine the night markets into a single evening, or replace one of the U.S. days with a quick day trip to San Diego before heading to Disneyland. Booking flights and accommodations early, especially for Christmas and New Year's, will secure better rates and availability.
