It is 137 days, 11 hours, 48 minutes and 53 seconds until Tuesday, 27 November 2007 at 8:10:00 AM (Brisbane time)
At the time of starting to put this entry together the bit above is how long until we head off on the next adventure.
This year is a biggie for a couple of reasons – this time we are away for close to 7 weeks ( usually it’s 3 to 4 ) and this time we also have BJ's (Special Someone's) teenage daughters with us.
It will also be the first time in the (almost) 4 years we have been together that all of us have been together for more than a few days at a time – and I can’t wait……. I think it’ll be a great bonding experience for me and the girls and also for all of us as a family unit.
For BJ and me it is mostly a repeat of some of the places we have been before but in a slightly different order. The first stop is Hong Kong for 3 nights which is a new destination.... followed then by a whole month back in Paris, another 8 nights in New York and 2 nights again in Tokyo to cap it off.
That wasn’t always the plan ….. the month in Paris was the whole deal but since there were four of us going this time we decided to return to a travel agent to see if we could get most of the flights using frequent flyer points. We managed to get 3 out of 4 return flights using points but the ‘drawback’ of course is that you can’t just get any flight you want and it ended up adding 3 weeks and 3 countries to the itinerary.
Que Sera ! :-)
So …… that’s what’s coming up …… I am working on the details for Egypt and will get them on – with pics, Shish – tonight if I can otherwise it'll be after I get back from Sydney on Monday.
