I have a solo trip starting Wednesday, a present to myself in my 60th year.
My other passion is golf, and for some reason I've long had a romantic notion of playing the best courses Australia has to offer.
I'm joining an organised internet group of 16 from the US, Canada and the UK to pay in Melbourne and Tasmania for 10 days.
The trip is greatly enhanced by having a couple of days in Sydney with our son, and a few extra days in Melbourne with our youngest daughter.
I just hope I can hit some straight as looking for golf balls in the rough is strongly advised against due to the snakes!!

Re: Tell us about your Holiday plans
You’ve made playing a round of golf sound like an epic adventure!! Australia has long been on my list to visit but still elusive to this day!

Re: Tell us about your Holiday plans
I‘m off for a three week trip to Indonesia this afternoon. We are going to see Java, Bali, Komodo, Sulawesi and West New Guinea. Really excited to explore a new country and hopefully see birds of paradise, manta rays, sea turtles and Komodo dragons

Sounds brilliant Peter. I hope you get to see some, if not all of those beasties.

Re: Tell us about your Holiday plans
After 48 years working in one sector, my wife and I decided that 2024 would be our "gap year".
We've done a trip to Seville, one to the deep South of the US (music based), going to see Mickey Mouse soon and Nov/Dec is New Zealand.
Exciting, expensive and tiring but we reckon we've earned it.

Uphill to the finish

Re: Tell us about your Holiday plans
I'm off for a very long overdue holiday tomorrow so I won't be able to a) participate in any challenges and b) update the lifetime metres table. Back on the 21st at some point hopefully.
