Re: Sri Lanka

I like to have lists of things that we want to do / see / go to and then each day we can decide what happens next. Some things...

Re: Sri Lanka

Yeah, muck and bullet train rides in 2nd class through Vietnam are something that I've enjoyed and look back laughing about, but don't always want to do. Thankfully there was a Sheraton at the other...

Re: Sri Lanka

I'm of the mind set that I'm keen for kids and it's something I'd enjoy and really grow with. That being said, I'm also innately...

Re: Sri Lanka

It is what it is. I don't get any pressure from any family at all. I don't get pressure from her or from myself. I get the odd 'your next' from the boys at golf or the pub etc but genuinely no...

I would have enjoyed that. I'm nicer in person.

It's bliss. Sunny, breezy, waves crashing.
