Anyone going anywhere nice this year?
Did I mention I'm going to New Zealand?

It's only at the other end of the bloody earth.

I've bought a new cossie for the trip : )


Edit - Morpeth is a close second re the excitment level.

A Cossie?
It's a long way to drive in a Sierra Cosworth. Good fun though.

I'm going to Ireland for a bit
That's about as exotic as it's getting.
( Captain V, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:06, Reply)

Ireland is bloody ace.
Lucky bugger!
( girlinthehole, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:07, Reply)

It's more exotic than where I'm going
which is nowhere. We've not had a holiday for maybe 6 years now. Been on plenty of days out though.

My family are very exotic, you'll see.
Well, they belong in a zoo.

I'm going to Morpeth
I think I win

Yes well I'm going to Morpeth too.
Double whammy!
( girlinthehole, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:09, Reply)

That's odd
Because I'm going to Morpeth as well. It must be the new summer holiday capital of the UK.

I will also be spending time in Bridport, Dorset.

Hey, me too!
Maybe we could get together for a cup of tea or something.

And a party ring?

If you promise not to bring V
I am up for that

I hate you :(

( Captain V, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:29, Reply)

There's a club you can join
they sit on big fleffeth cussions drinking lemonade and stroking cats whilst saying what a cunt I am.

I think you'll fit in well.

I tried
But I wasn't tall enough to climb onto the cushions so they wouldn't let me in.

Not Manchester then?

( Captain V, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:15, Reply)

I quite fancy NZ for a holiday
But I'd need to go in their summer, which is our winter, and that would bugger up my holiday schedules.

That said, I've been to Oz twice, in late southern hemisphere summer, so it's doable.

Luckeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'm going to the beach next month. I'm excited.
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before but it's my first adult vacation so I'm suuuuuuuper anxious.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:11, Reply)

How long have you been an adult for ?

( girlinthehole, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:12, Reply)

technically speaking?
8 years
I've been on weekend or day trips but this is my first extended stay.
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:16, Reply)

which bit of New Zealand are you going to?

( scoshi pretending to diet since, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:12, Reply)

Well my friend lives near Auckland.
But I hope to see as much as possible.
( girlinthehole, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:14, Reply)

Ahh, lovely Auckland
If you like Chinese / Thai food, there's a secret food court through a jewellery shop at the bottom of Queens Street.
It's super cheap and super fine.

Rotorua is well worth a visit for the stinky pools and rafting!
( scoshi pretending to diet since, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:27, Reply)

I read that as stinky poos *laughs*
And I'm not a fan of being on water unless the boat is the size of the QE2.
( girlinthehole, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:36, Reply)

New Zealand Roolz
Fantastic scenery, Pies and Cherry Ripes
( scoshi pretending to diet since, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:43, Reply)

A friendly Moari wouldn't go amiss either.

( girlinthehole, Wed 29 Jul 2009, 14:46, Reply)

In 1999
I wanted to go to Fiji and be one of the first to see in the new Millenium. Then hotfoot it to Hawaii and do it again.
