Default Help with 40th birthday ideas

Hi all

this October will be a double celebration, as it is both my wife's 40th birthday,
and, we all become eligible for citizenship too

Anyway, i'm after some ideas on what I can do as a nice surprise for my wife.
We have 3 kids, but don't let that stop ideas that aren't child friendly!

So, if you had the chance, how would you like to spend a weekend ?
Have you been anywhere that you would highly recommend ?

I want to keep it to within OZ, and, although we are Syndey based, dont let
that stop any good ideas from elsewhere !

Many thanks

Neil

A romantic weekend away from the kids would be my idea of a great 40th

Book the most expensive hotel you can afford, it doesn't matter where it is. Just lock yourselves in with champagne, lovely food and have a sex fest. They say life begins at 40 !!

thanks Brisben - already done the bridge climb (should have mentioned it really!)

UK-2-OZ - It would be nice for sure, but it can be difficult with no family to help out.

Asher - hmm, yes we certainly do like wine. Another good idea to think about, thanks.

Renshen - sounds great, and very reminiscent of my 40th last year in the blue mountains !!!
