Holidays

[sheeny (Al)]

One more work day, then holidays!

I'm having 2 weeks off between Easter and Anzac day.

Lyn and I are heading up to Grafton for the first week. We're going up on the bike while Lyn's girls are with their father. Gonna visit my mum. So with limited pannier space to share between the 2 of us for a week, I'm not taking any astro gear and won't be online but sometimes you get that!

We leave on Saturday, unfortunately... double demerits and all that, but hopefully the worst of the Easter traffic will be gone.

2 weeks of no IIS.
You're going to go nuts.
But I'm sure you'll find an internet cafe around somewhere.
Enjoy your time away.
Take care on the roads.

Probably! I'm not looking forward to working through all the unread posts when I get back...

Probably not even the 7x50s! Until we actually pack, it's not clear if I can even fit in my camera! Mind you, I expect I could fit my stuff in 1 pannier... Lyn will probably take a pannier, the top box and tank bag! We'll see... she might surprise me and I'll be able to fit in the camera and the 7x50s! Maybe...

I'm baaa-aaack!

We had a good time in Grafton and also Brisbane. Brisbane wasn't originally on the agenda, but we decided to make a quick dash up to Brisvegas to see Lyn's parents while we were that close.

Unfortunately, we only had the week as Lyn has to get back to work tomorrow, but I still have another week off.

We had a very relaxing time doing the family thing.

We travelled up to Grafton on the bike - it's first big run since the gearbox repairs... all went well. We did the trip up in two stages, stopping at Buladelah overnight as we had a late start. We managed to make it all the way home yesterday, though we had allowed today as well just in case. We hired a car in Grafton for the trip to Brissy and took my mum with us.

Unfortunately, the change of plans meant I didn't really have much spare time, so I missed out on visiting Mozzie to see his POD. Maybe next time.

Anyway it was a great break - good to catch up with family and "do nothing"... now I have a week at home which will be anything but do nothing!
