E, DanielWell, if you guys don't meet me for a drink Friday I'm going to hunt you down and talk politics, religion and card doctoring till you dribble!
Jason, you remember rightly, I am an expat Aussie and went back without family for a 'ME' trip. Hung out with my mum and drank vodka with my soon to be 90 year old grandfather (who still works everyday as a volunteer at a hospice - they call him "the angel"), squished sand between my toes and took in the beach 'sights', and drank lots of awesome beer. Even managed a trip to Tasmania with a best mate I've known since I was 13 (26 years) and met some leaches up close on a stunning hike through the forests there.
Missed the bejeezus out of my wife and kids, but really needed some personal time - away from cards even 
I'll be going back at the end of the year with the whole family, if anyone decides to make a visit to my island let me know and I'll hook you up with friends to show you round and must see places to go.
Regards all and nice to be perusing the boards again.
Daniel
