Off on me hols the morn

Well - somebody has to do it!

10 flights / 9 hotels / 3 car hires / 1 train ride all in 5 weeks (what a shame).

Could come back a single bloke 'cause doubt if the missus can put up with me 24/7 for that length of time.

Might not come back at all.

Have fun in this dark dismal, overregulated, overtaxed, laughing stock of a country while I'm away.

Bollocks: Just read that the b******* have increased the departure tax so looks like another 30 quid even though my tickets were paid for last January

Sucks that you have to pay to get out of the country. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

BTW, have a good time.

Yeah - can't be bothered really. leave for Newcastle airport in an hour!
Our kids are gone (supposedly) and mortgage paid up which is why we can do it.

Hong Kong
New Zealand (South)
Sydney
Cairns
Noosa (Posh hol resort near Brisbane)
Singapore

We're already arguing 'cause I'm organised and missus isn't.
