I am leaving tomorrow for a long awaited holiday with my girlfriend backpacking around Europe. I will be gone until January 6th.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for becoming a part of the Aussie Stock Forums community over the last six months. A forum is only as good as it's members and you guys are what makes Aussie Stock Forums stand out from the pack. Well that's my biased opinion. :D
So please... welcome any newcomers with open arms and give any troublemakers a swift kick in the virtual pants. ;)
I know you'll all look after the forums for me while I'm gone!
If I can figure out how to get photos from my digital camera to the computer in an internet cafe I will post some pics in this thread as I go.
I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a happy and extremely prosperous New Year.
May all your trades be winning ones!
Cheers!
Joe
PS. Go MUL! :)

You're in the air by now, but if you check out the forums while you're away Joe, have a great time and stay warm.
And if you don't see this till you get back, hope it was fantastic.

Hi everyone,
Just a quick note to let you know where I am and what IŽm up to.
Tonight is my last night in Barcelona and tomorrow we are heading south to Malaga in Southern Spain, on the Mediterranean. After two or three days there weŽll probably be off to Italy.
My stomach is finally getting used to the change of locale from Brisbane and I like the fact that the weather is warmer down here. The Spanish people are very warm and friendly... which is more than I can say for the Parisians. :p:
Travelling on the cheap is a struggle but very rewarding.
I will continue to check in here regularly. Thank you all, especially Stefan, for looking after the forums for me while I am over here.
Will keep in touch.
Cheers!

Greetings to all from Rome! :)
Tomorrow will be our third and final day. We leave on a night train to Munich at 9pm tomorrow. I swear we are walking 10 kilometres a day and I know for a fact I have already lost four kilos in spite of all the beer I have been drinking! :D
After that we'll be travelling to Prague before returning to Amsterdam for New Years Eve and a few days recovery before flying home. We'll be back in Australia on January 6th.
I want to wish you all (and your families) a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year!
I will put some of my photos up on the web when I get home.
Cheers!
Joe

Hi Tric!
Thanks for the welcome back.
Yes, I did have a great time, even though we were travelling on the cheap (out of necessity). We took a lot of photos along the way and some of them turned out quite well. After I go through and resize them I will put some up on the web so anyone who is interested can take a look.
