Back in the land of OZ and home again after 2 months on the road. A very exhilarating and worthwhile trip to Europe that has left us all a bit stunned. Bit hard to believe where we've been and what we've done, actually visited 12 countries! Now we really need to sit down and have a de-brief and look at the blog again and all the photos. Will probably do something like a country at a time and talk

So much to do, and so little time. Tidying up things at work before I go and organising things for while I’m away has kept me busy this week. Still a little bit to do and sign off on. Should get most of that done and then tidy up my desk on Friday. Then there’s the travel plans... Still looking for some reasonable accommodation in London but otherwise it’s fairly well all done. Bags are getting

Must getting close, I’m counting the sleeps. 7 to go! Have sorted out a three day trip to Paris and also picked up a few more travel things, so we’ve ticked off about the 90% done so far. Packing bags next...Work will also require some attention during the last week, although much has been done in regard to getting things in place. It’s amazing how much I’ll miss in the 2 months I’m away, and

the ubiquitous eighty/twenty (or Pareto principle) rule is alive and well... Now that we’ve got about 80% of the trip organised, I’m finding the last 20% is taking 80% of the time! It seems that you can spend an inordinate amount of time trying to tie up the loose ends. Maybe we’ve got enough planned and we should just let the rest happen. In a state of near exhaustion it’s hard to remain

Only 13 days/sleeps till we’ll be ‘flying on a jet plane’. Still a bit to do, some accommodation to finalise, car hire to suss out, investigate whether it possible to fit in a trip to Paris, and the train timetables to sort out. I’ve decided to write the trip blog on another site so make your way there to read what’s going on from the 26th of May. Now that things are getting so close there is a

I have invested in MacJournal and thought I might use it to write my travel blog while on the road. It means I can write while off-line, and then post/upload to my blog when I can get connected. Well, that’s the idea anyway. Makes me a little autonomous and means I can write when I want to or when it suits. Apparently there’s lots of free wireless access even in Eastern Europe so it may not be

I thought I might have got back here to write another post before now, but that's how it goes. You need soemthing to say and then you need to make the time to write it. Is that the waning moon I feel lessening it's grip on me? Freeing me up a little to spend some time articulating some thoughts. Things are interesting here, federal goverment budgets (from both sides of the fence - is it still a

Hi and here we go. I've taken the step and joined the thousands of other punters who have created a blog today. It's the last day of April 2007. Doesn't mean much other than that's the end of the 1st quarter and tomorrow it's May. The process to get to this point was easy enough and it reinforces just how simple it is for anyone to create a space online and publish themselves to the world. Not
