A year ago there was a plan - "How about a holiday to Oz". So after the planning and dreaming, Clare & I have finally finished work and need to start packing. Tomorrow we start the journey to Oz. But on the way we will be popping in to see friends in Singapore - "We were passing through the area so we thought we'd drop by" . After all, "in the area" is relative when you are travelling from the UK, the distances are so large.
