Agonising over 40?

So I'm trying to figure out what I'd like to do for my big 4 oh. We were thinking of going back to the "old country" but some things are happening to friends and they would not be around. Would have been good to see Woolmer Green, but it'll have to wait.

Next thought was let's do something cool like a cruise. We went on one last year and it was awesome, free food and got to see lots of Mexico. Thing is that my birthday (and Dana's too) are in mid Sept and the most promising place to Cruise from where we now live is the Carribean. Not a good idea in Sept - see hurricanes :-)

Then I looked at Expedia.com and found tons of cool package deals, some of which made me think of going to Britain AGAIN. Funny thing was that the most expensive hotel/flight combination was to my home town in the North West, which amused me since Oldham is not exactly Florence or teh South of France.

Finally we've settled on Myrtle Beach South Carolina. Not exactly exciting; unlike my 30th birthday when I cycled round Tuscany in Italy. Myrtle Beach will be relaxing and I think that with my hectic travelling that would be a great way to spend a week, also how better to spend it that with your wifey...

With all the pain of thinking about holidays maybe I should start planning for my 50th now :-) ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHH
