Winter Hols

In one weeks time my father , sister and i will be off to Riga for a long weekend ! i certainly could do with a break.... Kind of looking forward to it, booked into a hotel and have ordered my latvian lats ( their currency )

and it would appear that latvia is one of thee places to go !

Riga, Latvia

Not somewhere i would have in my top 10 places to go but you never know .............
i am going along with my sister and father, we are treating him to a belated birthday getaway. Our Father has not been abroad for years and the time has come for him to be able to experience someplace different and to enjoy his retirement.
So something else to look forward to in November............ a fun packed family long weekend !!!

Namibia

Have finalised part of my trip with a tour from cape town to windhoek. 11 day safari, camping under the stars in the Namib Desert, quad biking over huge sand dunes and much more to look forward too ! Woo Hoo !
now just the rest of the trip to sort out..........

Africa 2010

Booked my flight for one of next years adventures, another african safari. managed to get a cheap flight to south africa after hours of getting quotes for cheapest route. It seems that if you fly to/from windhoek ( Namibia ) it raises the cost and i tend to think if you can get a really good cheap flight, then you can spend more on travelling within that continent ........! so my plans changed slightly from my originals but still be seeing new places and adding more countries to my list !
Africa, here i come ..................... woo hoo !!!!

Perth Inclusion

and yes, the Perth photo has been included in the new edition of the online guide to Perth !
woo hoo !

online guides

last month had a few surprises in store for me, could be a new direction of career for me .........
had 2 photos included in online guides and have a 3rd one being shortlisted for this months edition. first it was my pic of Canberras Houses of Parliament, then an absolutely gorgeous one of Manly Beach and now one of London Court, Perth is awaiting to be included in Perths edition of the online guide.

New Adventures..........

After being unemployed for 2months, i am starting to settle into my new job in a local coffee bar. oh the joys of working ! I am not complaining, i am happy to do whatever comes my way .......
Went out with some of my new colleagues and saw Marley & Me, Jennifer Aniston was great! Good movie but get the tissues ready !
Now that i am back at work, i can now think about where to go on my next major adventure. The options are endless..........
Won't be waiting a whole year without holidays though, have weekends off so there could be some memorable short breaks away visiting friends !
First plan is where to go for my birthday in 6months time .............?
and then where to go for New Year?
Woo Hoo !!!!
