Happy New Year to you too, Christine.

I’m glad to have triggered some nice memories. Your plan for 2012 sounds good. Waiting for BsAs to cool down a bit is definitely a good idea. I got back on Monday. It was HOT and it was about 38C yesterday.

See you in a few weeks.

Happy New Year.

This blog has brought back so many memories of my travels around South America. I to did the 4 border crossings on the way to Ushuaia from Rio Gallegos and then travelled back via El Calagate. Still haven’t made it to Bariloche and Mendosa, though.

New Year , for me, started at El Corte (Nijmegen) with 28hrs of Tango. Now we’re on the count down to our trip to BsAs.

I think the plan for 2012 is to try and find something positive about everything around me, keep making more Tango friends and take up opportunities as they occur. Last year it was hard to make plans as 20% of my colleagues were being made redundant. Having got through that, I’m hoping to have security until 2015. I have a few ideas about what might happen but I’ll keep those to myself.

Hope to catch up with you in a few weeks. Hopefully BsAs will have cooled down a bit by then.

Cool, I like people in the second group. Especially the ones who take the plunge themselves.

There are 3 main options for RTW tickets:
* OneWorld
* Star Alliance
* Travel agent cobbled together individual flights

Let me know when you’ve got a ticket. Maybe our paths will cross again…

Hey Dave,

It’s funny, I was thinking about the Kindle-loving monk while trekking the other day. It may not be good for my soul but I’m glad I didn’t donate mine to him.

The Kindle Fire does look very impressive. Maybe one day…

Hey Dave,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Good luck persuading Jo that a round the world trip together is the best possible way of spending time together. How’s the gardening going? What else are you doing these days?

Happy Christmas to you both.

Yes, of course, I am firmly in the second group.

Merry Christmas!
Really enjoying your blog and the pics.

Working on item #2…half way there…need to research that RTW ticket apparently. Talked about it many times with my honey…may have to solo it I suspect…but she’ll love the pictures…;)

All the best, be well, Dave and Jo

Good question, Andy! No, I didn’t get to dance there. There was a bit of jive/salsa in the bar on the ship some nights. I think you have a worthy goal there. Good luck with it

Ok that looks impressive. I have to say I’m jealous about that one. Important question though. Did you get to dance there? Or can I still aim to be the first to dance on every continent?
