Linc and Sal's big trip

Today is the day, well actually it's Thursday, 25th, we leave Fort Lauderdale (overdue) and head to Oz. We say goodbye to Crosser, now Sea Fever, the motor boat we have worked on for just 4 months. That's her below:

Don't think either of us expected it to be sold so quickly. That was afterall what we were employed for - to help sell the boat, but damn we must have done too good a job.

Anyway, it has been an excellent means to an end. We can now (just) afford to take time out and travel to Oz and NZ at last. And be there for Nat and Brenden's wedding on Waiheke Island at the end of Feb, as well as Jamie and Charlottes the weekend after.

The plan at the mo is to travel to Melbourne to see Linc's eldest bro - Greg and stay for just over a week.

I also hope to see my bro - Tom and his girlfriend Fi - but watch this space. still don't know if our itineries are going to match at all. Sure will make it happen if possible though.

After that we fly to Auckland, see Linc's other bro - Andrew and his 2 kids, Linc's mum and dad and I'm sure a good handful of Linc's old mates. Also squeeze in a show watching Cirque de Soleil, a few days in the South Island and 2 weddings, before returning to Europe.

In Europe I'll get to catch up with my folks, sister and a few good friends before ending our trip in Mallorca and our new house........
