I work in a holiday seasonal environment. When you work for 5 or 6 days a week there are no long weekends or other days off. 5 months in winter and 4 months of summer so May is when I visit the world. I have just come back from another week of travels. This time Albania. A quick visit to the South. My favourite chill place. I am not even back for a week and then I go again to Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan for 2 weeks with one of my sons.. That is the long awaited exciting holiday. I will read and look at as many of your posts that I can before I go again so please excuse my absence..
