Hi well i'm back, not that, that means much but what the hell, had another stint in hospital, seems i have a heart after all, trouble is it's not workng like it should,,, as a result of this it would seem that any plans of packing up and heading off have gone by the wayside, well for the time being anyway, will have to content ourselves to a few weeks at a time with lots of rest inbetween, guess it's s good thing i didn't chuck in the job rright away, even have to slow down with that too, so to those who can head off happy trails, as long as i can still land sail, garden and fly the odd kite or two i'll be happy for now i guess,, yeh right !!!

Take it easy and look after yourself, best wishes for a speedy recovery, Jim

Glad to hear that at least you are back Beachball!  And as you say things have worked out, still got the house and job, and a future to plan, perhaps a little differently now. We've been doing shortish trips for years, its quite fine!

Best wishes, be happy, feel well.

Look after yourself, but never stop planning, goal setting and dreaming. Weeks away (rather than months) will still be great.

Cheers

Sandra

Way to go BB!!!!!!! Just home from Brisbane today, myself, with the good news I don't have to go back till June. Positive, positive, positive, mate, is the way to go. Figured a while back, a person has 2 choices. 1...sit in a corner and say I'm too sick, ooooooooooooooor 2....say get out of the road, I have living to do. Number 2 is the best one mate, and if the going gets tough, just get on here, and someone will "pick you up". Chin up, Cheers Dellie

speedy recovery beachball short trips can be fun too we do them inbetween our long ones just take care of yourself and plan for that trip away. Helena

GOOD to see you back BB. Look after yourself and don't stop planning trips, My Rob had a heart attack March 2010. Flattened him out for a little while but is up and at it again. Taking things a bit slower but doing them all the same. We plan on doing everything we can while we can, good luck to you and take care of yourself xx

Ditto to all the well wishes and advice already given. Look forward to seeing you out there one day. Johnw
