You were not the only person as "I" was already WAY ahead of you there !! :-) Hell I could almost hear the goat herding bells ringing in the background as I cleared my throat for a spot of yodelling ( and no that's not a metaphor for anything else

Actually I agree that sounds like a lovely trip and one that I'd certainly be up for and I think I'll add it to my seemingly ever growing bucket list so thanks for that Gerefan.

HOWEVER as boy wonder has now firmly got the idea of NY in his sights and after me just applying for his Esta e-visa clearance approval thing and getting that back and approved within minutes, what with him being Flipino he now thinks that is wonderful and is now adamant we MUST go to thank them ! - So, bugger the bank balance, it looks like we're going to NY ( whether I like it or not it seems ).

I am of course secretly looking forward to it myself as its been several years since I was last there, but of course I'll be sure to put on the "ohhh not AGAIN" face and pretend its not all fun and exciting all over again, well for at least 10 minutes anyway........well, either that or just throw oa smok on and go running down 5th Avenue belting out The Sound of Music and Doh a dear at the top of my lungs whilst wishing I WAS actually in Austria !
