Default What did you do before you left for Oz?

I was just wondering if anyone did any special stuff before they left, or if you are planning anything? So far im thinking about T in the park in the summer and Darren is planning to go and see Rangers play in Valencia in March. Did you have weekends away with friends or family or go to see any concerts? I just want to try and do something special before we leave and im looking for inspiration

I fulfilled a promise to my stepdad and did some detective work on the net to find my step brother who I had never met for my stepdad. They hadn't seen each other for over 20 years. Thats quite special, and had a happy ending as they see each other every week now and help fill the hole I left in my mum and stepdads lives.

Default Re: What did you do before you left for Oz?

I saw as many friends as I possibly could, went up in a glider over Kent, hopped over to France for the day, visited my favourite art galleries...would have done a lot, lot more but everything was a mad rush at the end, packing up, finishing off work, selling my house, tying up loose ends. Upset a few people because I didn't spend as much time with them as I would have liked.

Default Re: What did you do before you left for Oz?

I went on a holiday back packing through Italy by myself.. just to get some space and perspective on what we were doing. Bl**dy best holiday I've ever had...

Then I came back, went to a Morrissey concert, it was very good, and something I never thought I would get the chance to do (he doesnt tour that much)

then I turned out the lights in my flat, handed the keys to the agent. Stepped in a very expensive Black Cab and said... Driver take me to Heathrow....(I didnt tip him.. and how I laughted at his face...)
