    Well you know what the Prince Regent said about Bognor, can't argue with that.

    But having a long weekend in the UK might be an idea.

    Just looked on BA's website fly to Miami this Wednesday morning back the following Wednesday £287.80.

    But get this Price £132, Taxes, fees, charges and surcharges per person £155.80 Total £287.80. Thanks el Gordo, bloody taxes are more than the flight.

    I soooooo want to press the "Continue to payment page" button! But I've got to get some stuff done.

    Oh well, kettles boiled now. Make my tea and back to work.

    I was planning to get away just after Easter, when the prices go back down. I think I might move that forward and try to get a way next month.

    yield curves? you in IB?

    1) 'coz I'm not a contractor anymore. Got a proper business now. Can't take too long away on the road. I can do most things with remote connections to my network, but it's risky for longer trips.

    2) there are other non-business reason why I can't disappear for more than a week.
