Where would you be now ... ?

[esseeeayeenn]

What would everyone be doing now if it wasn't for this nightmare?
I would have been in Nouméa again, drinking champagne on the beach of Îlot Canard inbetween snorkelling sorties and watching the sunsets sipping coughtails with friends at the Chateau Royale before dinner at one of many amazing restaurants which cater more to locals than tourists.
On the bright side, I have a new dishwasher instead.
A year without travel is going to pay for a lot of home improvements.
None of them look quite this good, though or be this much fun

Last full day in London.A bit of retail therapy for mrsdrron,a walk in Hyde Park and a nice restaurant for dinner.

It's another warm one here today! Has been quite warm overnight too.

Looks like it is not too far from Matera, which is also very much worth visiting.

I was supposed to fly to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia today. Was looking forward to checking out the place after they just started to open up to Western tourists!

I got a glimpse of it last year during a layover at RUH on the way to somewhere else. The city looked huge from the air.

Damn, I was hoping to hear any recent experiences from Riyadh.
SV have some great fares and instead of just a transit I was interested in doing a stop over in RUH and/or JED

Unfortunately Oz Fest this weekend was very quiet compared to normal. It was the final dinner tonight then a VA flight to Nadi tomorrow morning. Five nights at the DT out of Nadi then 4 weeks timeshare at Fiji Palms, Pacific Harbour.

It just doesn't feel the same this year.

The optimist (dreamer) in me has us now going to Fiji in early October. We'll just have to wait and see about whether that will occur or not.

I am now heading back to MEL after a great OzFest weekend in BNE catching up with other FTers.

Absolutely love the place; as soon as the borders open up, if the UK will let me I've got some more cities there I want to check out. Then from there onto Kosovo.....
