    Warm Diving sounds good. Went to Poor Knights Island off the Bay of Islands in NZ in January. 13mm wet suites and big swells, not good.

    That did help: I thought you had to use the McGregorBoorman express

    You need to slip some bromide in their tea...

    I had to hitch hike due to lack of funds throughout my 10 years at uni. Most of the time it was a really good way to travel.

    I am always up for picking up hitchers (when in my car) but one never sees them now.

    We got the train back!

    I am always up for picking up hitchers (when in my car) as a way of paying back the universe, but one never sees them now.

    Had a week skiing in Austria. I am taking 2 weeks at home in August and 2 weeks in the Dominican Republic at Xmas so yes, I have had to cut back on expensive holidays this year.

    We went there for a couple of days a couple of weeks back, mid-week when it was cheap.

    It was our (belated) wedding anniversary.

    Actually, it was GREAT! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

    The same as the past years.

    A trip to Spain - and later a trip to Dubai.

    Hopefully the dollar tanks soon.
