Holidays

Lib's organized a couple of weeks in Fiji at an island resort when she takes some long service leave soon. Not a fancy hotel type resort but a self contained cottage with few modern amenities, no television for example and frankly I don't know a lot about it except that there's lots of walks through lush vegetation. Lib got onto it through a work colleague who goes there on some sort of time sharing arrangement. We now have to arrange air travel to and from and transfers.

Two weeks in one place in a warm climate appeals at the moment, with beach nearby and forest surrounding. Our last holiday, as in travelling some distance, was Adelaide last November, and Magnetic Island off Townsville the year before that. It was Alice Springs in 2009, then Florieu Peninsula SA in 2008. The big one was Peru 2005, and we did south west WA in 2004. These have been since the boys grew up, just Lib and I except for Adelaide last year when Gord came as we were going over largely to see Robbie who was living there at the time. And I add Bali, 2007 I think.

As the boys were growing up it was mostly Lakes Entrance where Lib's family have the house. We did driving, camping family hols to Queensland, The Grampians, and Tasmania through the 1990's while the boys were young. There's a lot of happy memories.

There's a way to go before our trip but lots of walking, lunch picnics and reading books sounds good to me. It's been a long cold winter. I'll keep you posted. Lib has Robbie's old lap top, maybe I'll be able to post from there, or maybe I'll have to hand write a diary and type it up when I get back.

I can't complain at what life has dished up to me, in fact I'm lucky, and very grateful.
