In 2008 the missus had just had a major disc operation and was stuck in bed so I had no chance of coming over. This time - yes but- I am striving to get enough together for an Eastern Med cruise next May and need airfares, insurance and 3 weeks of dog kennels! Drinks package is 75 quid a day! If I win Gold Lotto tomorrow there is a chance!
However you will probably have to cheer and drink on my behalf! BTW I have to avoid the sun these days.I have had about 9 skin cancers cut out of my face in the last 12 months. Only 2 were dodgy fortunately. Still get mistaken for Fabio!\
P.S Cheapest fare via Sdyney and Hong Kong 1300 quid and 40 hours trip to get to UK.
