I'm going to Gold Coast with my family (excluding my mother). It's just going to be my Dad, sister and brother.

My mother is going to Bangkok with her friends. (please don't ask me to explain why)

I'm leaving on 26 January (flight is in the wee hours of Friday morning) and returning on 01 February.

My mobile service doesn't come with free international roaming so I'm not bringing it along.

In anticipation of the Lunar New Year greetings that will flood my phone...

恭贺新禧, 恭喜发财
年年有余, 万事如意
新春快乐, 大吉大利

May the Year of the Dog bring everyone their dream bone.
