Default I've had enough.. I'm outta here!

Hahahaha, now that I've got your attention!

I'm off to Fiji for a week as of tomorrow night, I may pop on once or twice during the trip, but you wont be seeing much of me until the 5th or so (gives me a couple of days to recover)

I wont be taking a guitar with me, but the town near our resort does have a guitar store, according to the internet, so you know I'll be sure to check it out!

Just to give you an idea of what I'm in for - and what you're missing










See you all in a week, play nice kids!

I got a steal on lastminute.com.au last week - $1500pp for 7 nights in a 5 star top-rated resort (in a great room, too), all meals, airport transport & flights.. I couldn't say no, and we really do need a good R&R holiday!

The military coup there is doing wonders for the price of holidays...

OMG.

Looks like paradise. If you find a great deal on a Gretsch while there, it will become too perfect, and will upset the balance of the entire space-time continuum and cause the universe to collapse inwards.

Good luck with that!

Have a great time. Very jealous!

Well... I said "looks like" paradise, not "looks like it is."

Having been to paradise, rock-bottom and a few places in between, that pic does remind of someplace I've been. Thanks for the clarification, however.

That's funny, it looked just liked that today off the coast of Ventura.

It looks really brutal, araT, all that nasty sunshine, white sand, and tanned waiters bringing you Maitais, but I know you'll be able to tough it out until that glorious day when you make it to Toronto, and can feel the brown slush between your toes and the stinging north wind reddening your cheeks.

As silly as it sounds, I can't wait
You've no idea how un-christmas-y a 42*c (100+*F) December 25th is..

Have a great time! And for the record, not too dissimilar from Toronto in February. Really!

I know, I was laying out some troll bait for you
But you're right - internet suicides are amusing
