Depending on what you are looking for from the holiday I felt our short trip up there was excellent. Flew to Inverness, drove down Loch Ness all the way to Fort William/ Onich and then a sideways excursion to Mallaig (possibly the most beautiful drive I have ever done). After that we drove to Edinbrugh and drop the car off before flying home. Enroute you can do a boat trip on Loch Ness, go spotting red squirrels, theres a lovely fish restaraunt near Onich at Ballachulish, there is an otter sanctury near Oban and then the drive through the hills is lovely too

Of course!

But I will have to give it the once over first

not sure how much flights are... though hopefully prices should be more reasonable when the damn place is finished!!!

From the pictures Ive seen it is utterly stunning, though her apartment is in a 'still developing' area

Only fly in the ointment is that the person who has my drag car appears to have done a runner

so my plans are a bit stuffed whilst I sort it....

Plans for this year have been slightly scuppered, didn't quite realise how annual leave works here. Won't have enough holiday saved up by April to come to the UK without taking a bit of a hit to the ol' coffers.

We still want to do a wedding celebration of some description with UK friends but not sure how/when it will be. One idea Kari bounced around was coming to the UK for Christmas, but that wouldn't make wedding celebration all that practical.

March 6th to 20th - Oz, 21st to 27th - NZ, May 22nd to 29th Seattle/San Juan, 31st to June 5th - DC.

Probably do a few walking weekends too, Peaks next weekend possibly.

No, don't normally go that overboard though, and US trip is a relatives thing.

Nothing planned for this year so far. I'm planning on moving this year so will be keeping quiet until that happens - may need some cash for furniture if I get an unfurnished place. Might manage a cheap weekend or two possibly.

After I've moved, cash allowing, I may take a short trip later in the year. Big bro was on about a hiking holiday so may do that in the autumn. Would like to go to Islay at some point as well and visit all the distilleries

Where in NZ you going?

I'm planning on going there for a few weeks in October, or at the start of next year, just in the process of saving for it now. Just trying to think of places to visit/things to do.
