The Journey Home

A few folk have asked what out "return home plans" are and I suppose I can now tell you all as we have pretty much booked up everything.

I stop work on the 23rd December. I'll be spending the festive period up in Brisbane with Isla and her Dad (he's going to be over here at that time so it'll be nice to see a familiar face over Christmas). Then we'll be heading back down to Sydney to see in the New Year Oz-style with BBQs and fireworks.

Over the next week we'll be packing up our stuff, selling our furniture and getting the flat ready to give back to the agency. Then on the 9th Jan we leave for Thailand. From there we'll be doing a 29 day tour of Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Once we are back in Thailand we are going to chill for a week and soak up the local atmosphere. Isla has some friends there who will hopefully point us in the direction of some local attractions that are off the beaten track.

On the 22nd Feb I fly back to Scotland arriving around midday on the 23rd in Glasgow. Isla however, is going on to India to meet her Mum and the two of them are planning to spend a few weeks touring the East and South-East coasts.

So anyone that's around at the end of Feb that wants to go for a few beers.... Not hinting!
