Time to find a new type of holiday
I’ve just finished uploading my photos from my trip to the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. That was my third major sporting tournament I’ve attended and will probably be the last I travel abroad to.
London has the Olympic Games in 2012, maybe England will get the World Cup in 2018. Apart from that, I’m done. It’s not that I am no longer enjoying myself, it’s there are lots of other things I want to do.
There major football tournaments on three different continents in eight years is enough for me.

So what next? I can’t afford to be a space tourist. So maybe a couple of months in China or India, perhaps a cruise around the Adriatic or Caribbean. There are lots of places I have yet to visit in Europe. I have never visited Paris, Berlin or any other major capital city. I tend to stay off the beaten track.
A couple of years to think about it yet, and I need to get off my ass and find some more work to pay for it all.
Once I have a new plan I have incentive.

I said that about travelling overseas to see bands. I’ve flown from South Africa to London once to see a band and recently flew from London to Serbia. I promise myself I’ll grow up one day and then find myself, merely three weeks later, seeing if it is too early to book flights, hotels and car hire for next year’s festival.

A friend of mine is a big time U2 fan. So I have travelled abroad with him to see U2 play in the US and Holland.
The Exit festival sounds tempting… maybe next year
