I'm off!

Hi all,

In just over 24 hours I embark on a journey to fulfill a lifelong dream of seeing the aurora borealis as well as photographing the surreal and alien landscape of Iceland.

I'll be gone for just over two weeks, so, will hopefully update this thread with any aurora sightings.

Thanks, all for the well wishes.

Trevor, no one here knows where I live. And, even if they did, there is nothing here to take as I am in the process of moving to Queensland. So, if anyone wants a bed and some kitchen appliances, be my guest.

Enjoy Iceland...I got the chance to go there several years ago during the summer solstice. It was a great experience.

Thanks, again, all!

Marc, my life circumstances have changed (for the better!); New Zealand or Tasmania are still the end goal.

How long are you going for, David? I'm gone for just over two weeks.

Hoping for aurora!
