It's Friday and it's been a bit of a strange week at work - a lot of people taking the school holidays - it's felt like limbo-land. Should be more normal next week, although the downside is that the traffic will be heavy again.
I've taken the opportunity to get a few holiday things sorted out. We know which flights we want to take to USA now - we'll book them tomorrow - and we've now booked our flights to Australia next year. Not Business Class this time - neither of us celebrating a big birthday next year - but World Traveller Plus at least gives us a bit more room than Economy. We used the BA Miles we had accumulated, plus the Companion Voucher we got as a result of taking on the Amex card. We had to pay the taxes of course, but it's still a pretty good deal.
I then started to organise our internal flights and accommodation in Australia - we fly in to Sydney but have a week in Perth plus time with Kelly - but I was stopped in midstream with the surprise news that there's a chance that Kelly might not be in Adelaide next year! She might be moving across the country - nothing definite, but we'll hang fire just now until we see what's happening.
We will be away from 17th February until 13th March, 2012 and in USA from 28th July to 22nd August, 2011. In Australia our week in Perth will be spend at www.accorvacationclub.com.au and in Southern California we have a week at http://www.marriott.co.uk/hotels/travel/laxnc-marriotts-newport-coast-villas/
We'll just miss Scott and Lucy's 10th wedding anniversary, but we remember the occasion well - a sweltering day at Patrick Creek:
Well, I finished my second Jo Nesbo thriller last night - the 5th in the Harry Hole series - http://jonesbo.com/#/books/devil. Pretty good - a cross between Ian Rankin's Rebus (http://www.ianrankin.net/pages/content/index.asp?PageID=12) and Stiegg Larsson (http://www.stieglarsson.com/).
Forecast looks good - hope to get some more golf in this weekend.
