The countdown to our big trip away this year has just clicked under 200 days - it still sounds like a long time away but given how quickly January 2012 came and went, it will be time to leave before we know it. The to-do list is gradually getting smaller and the packing list is getting longer, so I must be making some progress.
And, in the end the anniversary cruise was an easy decision. Both of us have permission to take a couple of weeks leave, and we're booked on an 11 night South Pacific cruise with Royal Caribbean leaving Sydney on 4 Feb 2013 - we'll spend our 25th anniversary sailing towards New Caledonia.
We'll be extending an open invitation to everyone to join us - we're not planning anything special but we'd be more than happy for any friends and family to come along!
And Rose, if I win the Lotto between now and then, I'll be sending you a ticket :-)
