Keith - I'm in!
I've booked the 2 nights at AKL with a savannah view for my birthday. The dream is alive!
Greg I am with you on switching between a great trip and living. I'd love to change jobs even if it pays less; but let's be honest, I really don't want to get paid less!
A friend in New England is getting married in October and has advised by email I'll be receiving an invitation. Initially I was keen to look up fall leaves bus tours but do I really want to spend a few days on a bus with lots of people??? I am considering a sneaky trip to DLR on the way home depending how busy the parks are. As it'll be just before or after Halloween I'll check availability before booking just in case. Likely just 3-4 days but will be nice all the same.
If nothing else I'll at least get to the Harry Potter and Disney stores in New York City, plus get good use of all my masks.
