WHAT NEXT

Handed in Notice - tick
Retirement Party - tick
Last day at the office - tick
"Retired" - tick

But it's retirement Jim but not as we know it.

Two weeks to go now before I leave for New Zealand for Tom's wedding on 4th January, but there are still a number of things to be done, not the least of which is to confirm the dates of my return flights. Back in May, when I first booked, I had no idea how long I would be away for and so chose a random return date, but I want to stay out away for another three weeks or so and now I am waiting to hear from the travel agent to find out the best day and ticket price to return.

So at the moment it's all booked for the flights out on Singapore Airlines on 28th December with a two night stopover in Singapore itself and an arrival at 23:45 on New Years Eve at Auckland International Airport. I hope the plane arrives on time and not late as I think it would be a good idea to avoid the New Year fireworks as we come into land.

I have a long list of things to do before I go; it will be interesting to see what actually gets done.
