    Ian has just told me that we're leaving tomorrow morning for places unknown!!
    He couldn't think what to get me for my birthday so he's taking me off tomorrow until Sunday to somewhere. I'm charging the batteries for my camera at the moment so that I can take piccies for you all. Let's just hope the weather improves as the roads are rather treacherous at the moment with snow on top of black ice.

    Ohh that sounds like a fun way to celebrate. I love unknown destinations and spur of the moment fun like that.

    Way to go Ian!!!

    Hope you have a great time Eileen, and have a wonderful and safe Birthday. See you back on Sunday!

    Happy Birthday! Some of the best vacations we have taken have been spur of the moment with no destination in mind. No time line or reservations to worry about!
