Travel thoughts
Mar. 21st, 2010 03:03 pmDo you realise I didn't go anywhere in 2009? By anywhere, I mean not overseas. The LG and I did visit the Atherton Tablelands with my mum, and we did go to Brisbane for the Exhibition and make further surf club related trips. But I didn't travel anywhere else! This is an unusual situation for me, who whether I have money or not, I go somewhere.
This year I won't be doing much either. We're getting a new library/gallery built this year, so I have to be around to go to endless meetings about that. I was thinking of a genuine white Christmas at the end of the year, taking my mum (she'll be 85 and it might be her last chance to go OS anyway) and the LG to Canada and stay at a ski resort or soemthing. But they don't want to go *pouts*. I suppose too I have to spend money on the house. I ripped up the carpet in December and haven't made a floor covering decision yet :D
Next year, 2011, we're actually moving into the new building. So I guess I should be there for the settling in and cementing of procedures and stuff.
So 2012 it is. I will have a lot of Long Service Leave by then. Currently I have 45 days and that doesn't count my regular Annual leave.
The LG and I have been talking the London Olympics with attached travel elsewhere perhaps. Of course sooner or later he's going to realise he'll either miss football or surf club if we go and might change his mind, but I'm not worrying about that right now. I've checked out the London Olympics page a couple of times, but it's still a WIP and isn't particularly helpful.
I'd like to know, and maybe my British flisters can help me here, which places in London are closest to where the games are being held? I figure if I start looking now, I might get some accommodation before the prices go up.
