We've been thinking about a trip for my 50th birthday which is coming up in March next year...I know, right? Ancient! Positively pre-historic...Ahh, shadap! 😃
Anyway, my wife Faith has been intent upon us going away somewhere to mark my ascension into old age...She's even suggested I change my name to Galenkposaurus; A suggestion for which I administered a few disciplinary actions, namely some smacks on the bum - She liked it though, so that backfired. 😁
I haven't been keen on the idea of a vacation for my birthday as we are travelling to Europe in July also - Trips to Europe from Australia are generally expensive and so I've questioned the additional expense of a trip in March, especially for the purpose of celebrating my birthday.
As usual, what I think hasn't had much bearing on what we actually do and so last night the decision to go away in March was made. We decided upon Tasmania or Western Australia as possible destinations.
Both have great benefits with WA seeming the way to go as we haven't been there. We only have 8 days available to us though and we'd want longer than that for our first trip to WA; We've been to Tasmania before and figure 8 days there would allow us to pick up where we left off last time. We couldn't decide though and so we flipped a coin. Heads Tasmania, tales Western Australia.
Heads it was and so we're off to Tasmania.
Today I took some time out of the day, on company time of course, to book the flights which were pretty cheap to be honest. We ended up getting flights for $320 per person return, flying in the last week of March.
We have to get a hire car, I'm thinking a Bugatti Chiron for this trip, and of course, get some accommodation booked but having those flights squared away is always the first step, and a happy day!
It always feels good to get flights booked and we always do so early as it gives us something to look forward to; The expectation of getting away together and exploring the world - Or in this case, little old Tassie.

I'm not big on celebrating my birthday to be quite honest - Other people's yes, but my own, not so much. It's just another day and so I tend not to get too excited about it. I get excited about holidays though and am looking forward to heading back to Tasmania, one of the most beautiful places Australia has to offer. Of course I'll blog along the way; You'd miss me too much if I didn't.
Anyway, that's what I'm doing/have just done this Wednesday whilst sitting in my office getting paid to do something else. 😂
Just tag #whereonwednesday in your post, on a Wednesday, to join in if you would like. It's not a challenge or anything dumb like that, neither do you get anything for it. It's just a chance to post your thoughts and maybe a picture or two.
