What is the new adventure you may ask?

On the 19th Feb 2015 I head out to India,  this is my second attempt to get there, work, declined my leave request 6 odd months ago, only to say hey, you have to take 4 1/2 months off in 2015... (forced leave) yeah I know... how is that possible?

Well, I am about to hit 20 years at my current job,  and normally get 5 1/2 - 6 weeks leave a year.... that and I work in IT.... so it's not that easy to take it....

Anyway, was a little miffed.... (well that is taking it lightly after my last request was declined...) even more so... when just a few months later... being told to take move leave... Geeeesh.... Results: I'm taking a little over 2 1/2 months off..... Cashed in a few weeks also... to help cover the costs....

Anyway... this is just a start just to see how the android tablet handles my blogging stuff..... (may create a new blog.... as omgcouchsurfingeurope doesn't really fit......2 months of India, and 2 weeks in Asia....

36 days to go.... :-P

After 4 long years....

Right, this is the first test, of the fancy, well not so fancy $30 tablet, I brought for the current trip.... toshi, my old netbook was stolen, in a breakin a few months ago, Insurance replaced it with a HP, very very slow, very very heavy netbook... :-/, and I feel, it's not worth taking with me... the $30 tablet.... has 3g!! Yeah baby, that means internet all over...

I have a pretty cool Bluetooth keyboard.... and a tablet stand... to see how it goes..... typing seems ok.... altho I think having the netbook would be better....

Anyway this is the first test with blogger to see how it goes.....

Also my camera was stolen in the same breakin,  Insurance replaced it with a new Panasonic FZ70 it feels different to the old FZ40... but should do the job.....
