No, I’m Not Dead
Considering it has been almost a week since my last post and in that time SHE-POWER was kidnapped by a Korean religious group, you could be forgiven for thinking I’ve given up on you. Packed my bags and closed up shop.
But never fear my faithful constituents (see my God complex is in full force now - all it needed was an excuse), I am here. I have returned. I may not have anything exciting to say, but what does that matter when you can bask in my all knowing glory. Bring your offerings, your children, your burdens, your ailments and I shall …
Okay, enough! I’ll stop. This is beyond funny, I’m probably just getting into offensive territory now.
The truth is my server issues dragged on much longer than I expected and my site has only been functioning in a normal fashion since late Monday morning (Sydney time). Since then I have been flat-chat with work and trip preparations, and I still am very busy so this is probably as good a time as any to let you know that I won’t be posting as regularly from now until the end of June.
I’m leaving for Spain in two weeks and I have clients to please, families to organize, bookings to confirm, itineraries to nut out, suitcases to pack and a million other things to do which probably should have been done already, but my hubby and I seem to have lost track of time.
I will endeavor to post at least once a week, even while I am overseas, but please forgive me if it all becomes too hard and not fun and I forget about you so I can enjoy my first family vacation in years. It’s not personal. I don’t have any issues I’d like to air. We’re still pals. I’ll be back.
But I am SO looking forward to Spain. It’s going to be bliss. With lots of time bumming around, walking on white sand beaches, feasting my eyes on gorgeous architecture, eating tapas, drinking sangria and getting laid. Oops, did I just say that?
Well, come on, what else are holidays for?
Moving on from my currently dismal sex life and my great hopes for the future, I am almost finished with the next extract of SHE-POWER Fiction, so I’m aiming to get that to you ASAP. Then I should have my Clay Collins interview up by next week and maybe even a guest post for you too. So, stick around and normal posting will resume in July.

Glad you’re still alive.
You should totally enjoy your vacation and forget about us! I said it before - bloggers ARE entitled to life outside of their blogs.
I’ll be in Barcelona in July.

Have fun in Spain. I will be in your shoes come June-July when the family and I are taking a much needed vacation.
I am quite certain that you vacation will add more spice in your daily routine. Post some pictures of your vacation.

Very envious of the trip to Spain. I can empathise on the server issues. I have just change servers and my site I down, but should hopefully be back by the end of the day.

Hi Kelly - Your Spain trip has come round quickly. You’re going to have a wonderful time and it’s definitely best not to worry too much about blogging while you’re away. I’ll have my guest post done for you soon, so you’ll be able to post that either before you go or set it to post while you’re away. Hopefully you will write one for me too, while I am away in August.
Don’t forget to take a Spanish phrase book. Touristy areas are ok, but some of the main cities don’t have English versions of menus and you have to sort of guess what you’re eating, which is not ideal.
Which bits of Spain are you planning to see? How long are you going to be in London? Do go on the London Eye, so long as you’re not afraid of heights - the view is amazing, both at night time and in the day. Do pre-order your tickets so you don’t have to queue though. You can actually call the number on the website the day before, pre-order them and collect from a machine: http://www.londoneye.com/

Thanks for the well wishes guys. I am starting to get really excited now and I can’t wait until I have my projects finished and all the items ticked off my to do list. Then I can relax and just enjoy the excitement and anticipation.
As to where we’re going in Spain, this is the basic itinerary:
We’re flying into Barcelona, where we’ll stay for a few days, then we drive up to Cadaques for a couple of days to check out the Salvador dali museum at Figueres. I’m a huge Dali fan! Then we head downn to Valencia to take Bunny to the big aquarium there. Then off to Granada, where we’ll base ourselves for 4 days to explore a bit of the Costa del Sol and see the Alhambra. Then not sure where, but we’ll end up in Seville for the 3rd week, where we’ve hired an apartment to chill out enjoy the Andalucian way of life until we fly to London and my husband starts work. Our 4th week will be split between London and Paris, but Music Man will be working so Bunny and I will be exploring on our own. It’s a hard life I know.
So, that’s the plan, and when I can get internet access I’ll post some photos and maybe even a Spain piece.
Kelly,
I’ve been visiting your blog regularly. You’re doing an awesome job. Good luck with your trip.

Hi kelly
I know I’ve been absent around here but my laptop was corrupted and work has been crazy so I’m behind on my reading. Hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family and we’ll be here waiting for you when you get back.
