On Thursday this week Cherrie and I take off for yet another holiday.

This is the result of some points that we had with Ethiad which had to be used before June. We simply refuse to pay for overseas flights so we hang on to points and buy seats that way. This is quite a chore as it requires serious spending. Ain’t life tough? So, we first fly to Abu Dhabi where we spend 40 hours, but as luck (and that hard spending) would have it we had enough points to secure a hotel room in a no doubt luxurious establishment on a man made beach with golden sand and diamond door knobs. It’s on a beach so we have packed our swimmers….that’ll frighten the natives. Anyhoo, from there we go to Berlin, Budapest and Bodrum, with some other cities starting not with B thrown in. So, if you want to follow our journey, please do so.

More soon. Wadae for now.
