We don't get enough of it to say it properly. Knackered now-starting to hallucinate.

I dont think you can, but I could be wrong. It would be a long way round, wouldn't it
What's your favourite choice so far?

Defo Singapore or ThailandIt's gotta be good to widen lifes experiences and that of your childrens to go boldly somewhere where we've never been before.
And it's cheap. Ooh yes.

Hi Jane
Danny does night duty on a kids ward, so I guess he doesn't get much sleep. Not sure how he gets on internet when healing the sick

BA straight south to Jo'burg, then qantas round to Perth, then Sydney, then Auckland/Christchurch.

The first leg to SA is very easy, no jet lag as it is the same time zone more or less, the second leg is much harder as you are doing all the time zones in one journey.

Well recommended, went to Kruger National Park to see where the wild ones live =) A childhood dream that I did not ever think was acheivable so easily.

Not the easy/cheapest option, this was done on a round the world ticket.

Now that sounds like a good trip!( I've been to Zimbabwe- many yrs ago had family there.) would just love to do S.A. we want to go to Cape Town and I have cousins in Durban, and KNP sounds great!

How about Heathrow-LA, then down through the islands - Hawaii (bit Americanised)/Fiji (great family holiday destination from NZ) - Pacific Islands influence is really big in NZ.

Simple-we just drug all the kids,then we drug the parents,then we play cards/go on t'internet! Beautiful. Only messing,they're all well at the mo,only 2 having chemo,the rest are cool. 4 nurses on-they're all highly skilled and motivated. Only ambition I havent achieved-safari.Would love to do it-but not practical with 3 kids,might turn into bait.
Wanna see some cricket as well,so Melbourne might get a shout.

To while away the wee sma hours when we should be working diligently on night shift, have you tried
henriluoma.net
loads of different games on there. My trust is a big girl's blouse and cancelled my computer log-in because I was playing the Zidane head-butt game. My point is, it proves I was awake!
As Stevie B OH, I have 3 weeks on nights and then 2 day shifts left to work and I will be genuinely sorry to leave work. The worst bit will be going to Scotland before we leave to say goodbye to our 3 sons - not looking forward to that.
