Oh absolutely, and it was tongue in cheek. It's just thinking about it I could've left around 20th July and been back by the 10th/11th. Never mind, as you say, worse places to watch our games.
3 weeks in Bali from the 6th - 27th August with the other half. Can only travel in school holidays so not much choice.
Safe to say i'm a little bit annoyed with myself that I didn't book to leave earlier in July.
