About jefranklin:

I am "enjoying" working for the IT department of an Investment Bank in the City of London. In 2006, I spent around 8 months travelling Australia, South East Asia and Europe; experiencing the Outback at night, the hustle and bustle of many an SE Asian city and Europe in the middle of a World Cup frenzy.

Hobbies:

Travelling :), writing, photography, digital video. Plus the odd healthy thing, such as going down the gym when the mood takes me.

Favourite places:

Too many to mention, but Tasmania in Australia, Saigon in Vietnam, and Fjaerland, Norway deserve special mention. Oh and the Carribean when I want to zone out in the sun.

Planning another holiday

Posted by jefranklin | 13th September 2007

Heather and I have been thinking about going on holiday late in the year, this year. So we've decided to head away for a week or so, although we are not too sure where. Obviously sunny weather is the attraction, and no doubt Heather would like to get in a few rounds of golf, and we don't want to travel too far. So on the list to consider are:

  • Portugal - should be nice beaches and some golf, weather is a bit of an unknown quantity
  • Canary Islands - should be sunny, etc. but not too sure about the golf
  • Morroco - sunny no doubt, but golf and maybe safety may be an issue

Anyway, a friend of ours will be house-sitting either our current place or if we are fortunate in the next couple of days, our new place. Decisions, decisions...
