I like the sound of a Modern Heat set in Queenstown, Jackie.

Have a brilliant time.

Oh no, I was wondering if you were going to make it over the ditch or not. A bad knee?? Sorry to hear that, Felicity! Yep, invested in a small portable DVD player to calm the savage sounds of stir-crazy kiddies. Will probably work for all of five seconds. 🙂

Have a fantastic time. Wish we could join you but my bad knee put paid to our skiing holiday. I have road-tripped with small children. Just make sure you pack your sense of humour and an ipod to drown out ‘are we there yet’. Enjoy

Lorraine - yep two kids in the car does mean lots of distraction, and not of the good kind!

Caroline - it's just one of my stupid acronyms! NTAI=Not Thinking About It. This can be applied to daily life whenever you are required to Not Think About It. Like one's submissions... ;-)

I will Romy. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can get some good ones. Bummer about the burglars!

Have a lovely holiday!

Rohan [sigh] I might just have to go and watch the movies again for the 275th time. (Oops I can't - our recent burglars took the DVD player!)

Anyway, please take lots of pics and post a few here.

Looks lovely. Have a wonderful NTAI time. I’m sure two kids in the back of the car will provide ample distraction 😉

Janette – the US? Oooh, aren’t you lucky? And I was enthusing over Queenstown!

Kristy – I didn’t realise you’ve been here! Hope you had a great time if you did. Yes, the scenery is pretty spectacular. I live here and yet whenever I travel, I’m always inspired by our landscapes. It is pretty special. Still, I’d LOVE to have a trip further afield…
Twelve weeks huh? In an ideal world you should be getting a response by now. Keep me posted!

Ooh, very jealous. I loved Queenstown when my (now) husband and I visited it on our travels around your beautiful country. It was one of many highlights for me. I found the scenery in NZ almost ethereal. Maybe it's the light? I can see why Peter Jackson wanted to set LOTR there, it's like no-where else on earth.

Hope you have a fantastic time. I too now travel everywhere with my laptop, just in case inspiration should strike. It's 12 weeks for me now and counting...

Oh Jackie – sounds fab. I too would be taking the laptop (in fact will be doing the same when i head to the US) Nothing like a feesh new setting to provide some inspiration!
