In the words of actor Ewan McGregor in Long Way Round, "A holiday doesn't have to be lying on the beach - it can be one of exploration and adventure". This is what I want. As I get older, the window of opportunity is statistically diminishing aka a decline in physical ability. So whilst I still possess some vague physical fitness I'll leave the McDonald's holidays where everything is done for me, where everything is dished up to me and where everything is safe for a little longer.
The organising doesn't stop nor does the panel beating to the credit card but I'm not complaining. Trains, planes and automobiles have been booked not to mention ferries. Karinne and I obtained our International Driver's Licences the other day and did some shopping for extra power converters and memory cards. We have also booked a hotel at Darling Harbour to stay the night before where we will have dinner in honour of Karinne's parents 50th wedding anniversary.
