I’ve booked my little get away for New Years Eve – New Caledonia here I come! I can’t wait that long, really can’t. My girlfriend and I are trying to work out when we can get away for a weekend. Our specifications are somewhere hot, must have pool, exciting, different, not too expensive, not too far (my lovely lady hasn’t been on a plane before).
I want to cross something of my Aussie “to do list” i.e. Snorkeling at Great Barrier Reef, trek up the Big Red Rock, line dancing in Tamworth at the Country Festival, Crocodile sighting in NT, attend a Rodeo in QLD and ride a mechanical bull, see the Bungle Bungles, walk through a rainforest in The Kimberley’s.
Now it’s timing… I’m one to make a quick decision when it comes to holiday / travel and it’s only a weekend – easy? I think not. The nest two weekends I have functions. Mother goes into hospital on 27th August for an operation on her feet; therefore mum won’t be able to get around for what they say 2 – 3 weeks. I’ll be house-sitting for a girlfriend end of September for 2 and a half weeks. Before I know it October, we have a long weekend to contend with as my travel buddy is going away. I had a quick look at flights and there’s a big sale commencing 13th October*. The next available weekend it is! That’s still over 2 months away.
Now… Where to go?
*Flight sale regardless we will be looking at Virgin Happy Hour too

I just booked my next three vacations.
North Dakota in October for a wedding. Who planned that cold fucker?
Las Vegas in November. Work is paying for every dime of that MF'er and I'll be posting about that one shortly. The trip is costing them about $10,000. ;-)
And Then...
The Bahamas in April for another wedding that I am a Best Man in.
New Caledonia?
Sounds nice.
I think the next school holidays might hold a trip down south again... and then of course there's the big move to South Australia in Dec/Jan.
That's pretty much it for me in the near future.
I would love to go to Germany. And London - to see my little sister. ANd Nick.
*sigh*
Enjoy the time away.
