Now we need to talk about the endless bucket list. As fast as I cross things off the top more gets added to the bottom.

Even if I only get to do a portion of my list I will be happy. Currently planning my next holiday- a short one to Tasmania. Even planning it makes me happy depsite the fact that it is 10 months away!

WE haven't even gone on our 2008 trip and the child bride is already planning 2009 and possibly 2010.

Should I be putting my foot down?

We were laughing so hard, and hiding our faces from embarresment. It certainly took the stree out of being lost. Sure hope there is no fine to come. We actually did not see the sign as a double decker bus was next to us blocking the sign. That is our excuse and we are sticking to it.

Lol this is so funny! What an adventure!

It wins hands down over a similar experience my family had when we drove on a road-trip all the way to Melbourne in 2001 and didn't know our way around so dad had this brilliant(!) idea to follow the trams!! Then we kept driving and ended up at some place called 'Box Hill'!
Boy am I glad we didn't get into trouble!!!

Just do what my partner does and ignore it. I have to 2020 planned- down to what trip in each year. Poor Tony has no idea what is ahead for him.

WOW Me, I guess I shouldn't be complaining.
Bit hard to "ignore" when tour outline is placed inside the beer fridge.

Absolutely not!!! We have plans underway for 2010! Planning = anticipation = hope.

I can't see a flaw in that at all.

Going crazy on holidays - I remember when I took my first camping trip of Europe at age 20 - the tour had a very large babies dummy and when anyone did something silly they had to wear it for a day - at some stage everyone on the trip had a go at wearing it.
Planning trips - great fun - have booked to go to Thailand in November and looking at the USA next February.

All I can say is thank goodness for GPS systems.

We had one on the hire car last year and most of the time she was pretty good but when trying to get to the hotel in Dresden we followed her directions to the letter and as we sat in front of the house in a residential street she kept insisting 'you have arrived' ...

.. the hotel was one street over....
