Hello... Is this thing on?

Well I'm back off to the other side of the world again so by popular request (ok, one person) I'm dusting down the old blog. This year it's a family event, which means half the blog readers from last time will now be alongside me, so the rest of you should feel part of an exclusive club. Entrance is free, no jeans or trainers after 10pm.

The adventure starts on Friday with the first stop being Hong Kong. Just the 12 hour flight with a four month old boy, I don't see how that can be anything other than great fun, right? Right? Hello?

After that it's on to the North Island of New Zealand for a round island trip in a roughly clockwise direction. I'll be updating fairly regularly depending on where we have wifi, so welcome along for the trip. And if any of you buggers burgle the house when we're away I'll hunt you down like the dogs you are!

As you were.
