As for the rest of you, emigration hasn't curbed your wanderlust! So many exciting trips planned, it's going to be a great year on the Barbie for holiday stories

We leave Tuesday morning, but I packed my bag today. Tried to do it when Scouse wasn't around, I don't want to hear 'HOW many pairs of shoes are you taking?!!!'

Molly, I shall rely upon your innate good sense and taste to keep you out of trouble while I'm away.

And if that doesn't work, I'll visit you in hospital

Think its living in Brisbane thats given me wanderlust! And having a mate who has made me realise I really can just get up and go and experience the world, just like that.
Four days to Tassie, bring it on

My brother is getting married in the UK in June so will be going to that

I have permission from the minister of war and finance to go to the Oktoberfest in Munich. It's 10 years since I last went and planning to meet up with some friends from the UK and SA there

We have a family holiday in Asia planned - but that may change

Also hope to get to some of the RWC in the UK

I will probably be working overseas a lot this year too

Went once about 10 years ago. It's mayhem. Best group to not associate with. The Italians - as an Oktoberfest bouncer said to me. "They rarely drink at home, come up here to Munich and drink without practice."

The Italians are a real problem at Wiesn - the Germans hate them

Aussies, Kiwis and Saffas have a huge contingent and most have a good time. Sure, there are always a few idiots but most just party

Lots of Americans (mainly military). They are lightweight drinkers

Not many Brits go, which is a bit surprising given its fame and notoriety

They don't need to go to another country to get a decent pint

It's more to do with the fact that most are still fighting the 2nd world war

Yep that'd be great!

Bloomin heck! Did you know that Macdoodles was voted as one of the top ten companies to work for last year?

More Brits seem to be going to it now, the football crowds mainly. There's a big bunch of Chelsea fans who go each year.
