Getting out of Town

When you live on an Island you limit your means of escape! Not being a good swimmer, I tend to fly! Having worked for an airline for awhile I do tend to feel some alligance to that same airline but will gladly fly with another if the deal is a fair bit better. Living in New Zealand the choice is limited anyway but what i have found is it can be cheaper to buy a ticket to Australia and then buy a ticket form there to the rest of the world. If you do try and make it the same carrier (airline) then ring them up and get them to combine the itinary which they will likely do. This should have some advantges if you get delayed the clerks can see you forward travel and reschedule flights for you.

Life. part two

Well obviously the title of Life 2.0 was a play on words of the Web.2.0 thats going around at the moment, obviously Rich Karlgaard had a similiar idea.
I rembered the other day being told by a friend about there Uncle Jack. Uncle jack was married and recently retired living happily with his wife of many years. She died and Uncle jack found himself alone. So I imagine he had a bit of a think and decided "F*** It" He sold his house and car packed an overnight bag and picked up his golf bag and set of to play golf around the world. Now apparently Uncle Jack had at least two things going for him one he was and affable sort of chap and two he was a member of the hole in one club. These two things got he many invites to play and invites to stay from the19th hole. I dont know how Uncle Jack faired (who cares) its the idea of it that counts here. So the idea is I'm packing my overnight bag sorry but I dont play golf.....
