Hi Foxy,

Seems he definitely "jumped the gun " a bit early !

One memorable holiday I had was when travelling in north Africa with a female friend we hitched a lift with a Muslim businessman in his flash BMW . Headed for Morroco, we were only a few K's down the road when we hit an icy patch and spun around out of control, ending up pointing the way we had come .

Our new friend decided that Allah had sent him and us a very important message so we went back to town, where he found us a boarding house room for the night [for free] and we set off for a good trip the next day .

Nice, friendly People and interesting country .

Dear katrija jim,

Thanks for sharing your holdiay.

Africa is a place that I've always wanted to visit.

I think it would be amazing.

Perhaps, in a few years, further down the road...

Kicked off Gold coast Emergency Telephone Answering and Secretarial Services. It was 24/7 .
A staffer told the police the body was in the clean away truck-there was it was- a dog!
Not being happy with the abuse I got, after their staff was bailed up at gun point looking for the body, I decided to take it out on some outstanding clients.

I’ve got no money, says- the accountant, but tell you what, why don’t you take a break and have a holiday and my holiday retreat on an Island instead.

Just what I needed (I thought). I invited a senior friend from Sydney. Tied a wooden boat on the roof and we were off.

Pam was an actress and very much the lady. Our friendship was through Animals.
We drove onto the barge and she was so excited! There was a problem with the thing which took several hours to fix.

By which time she was getting a little under the weather. (She liked her Scotch.) Finally we were there-

Nothing``. No roads just sand, so you couldn’t even stop. Around and around in circles with the boat slipping and Pam screaming terrified looking for the retreat... Finally we found it. “No power” No generator, stinking hot -sharks

Cheer up I said, look there’s an old Metho fridge at least you can keep your Scotch cold I told her. She hopped out without her shoes and burnt the bottom on her feet. She sat on the front step stunned. So was I TBO. It was a dump!

4 pm the mossies started. Spray made no difference.
The fridge broke down and there was black smoke all through the place...

I brought a candle I told her :) She laughed she cried and finally went to bed kicking her toe in the dark.

Next morning I am woken to screaming- fire fire.
It was a fire all right and we were surrounded. Running out of space but obviously we got out.

Needless to say Pam never holidayed with me again :)

And I put the accountant’s fees up!

Dear PALE&IF,

I can see why you remembered that holiday :)

Still, I bet it made you appreciate all the
ones that came after it.

My brother holidays out at Point Plummer every
year. And even though he says the conditions
there are rather 'primitive' the views make up for it.
The beaches are beautiful - miles of surf and sand.

Maybe I'll join him next summer...
