So, where did you go? Better weather?
I was 'away', too, today and yesterday, but 'only' in Dublin. I keep thinking of driving there (north Wales, fast ferry to dublin or Dunlaoghaire) but the aeroplace seems more attractive proposition every time...
{BTW rented a Saab 9-3. Plasticky and unimpressively 'tinny'. My colleague (who actually organised the rental) had asked for an upgrade on arrival at the airport. IMO we would have been better off if we had stuck to the allocated Ford Mondeo.
The Volvo S60 we had (in Germany) the other week was a much more solid vehicle.}
