This entry is our “Out to Lunch” sign: assuming that this post hasn’t been superceded by a newer one, you can safely assume that we are currently stretching-out in hammocks or snorkelling around the beach at our mini-resort in the very remote island of Raratonga in the Cook Islands. In fact, Squiffy recently read that the Cook Islands are surrounded by most ocean than any other island in the world.

I’m writing this entry in advance: who knows whether they’ll be an internet connection from which we can upload some island photos…? Who knows whether I’ll be able to bring myself to the keyboard in what we hope will be one of the most beautiful and relaxing places on the planet…?

We’ll be here for just under a week and in the potential absence of being able to upload any blog entries, please accept my apologies and be patient — we’ll be arriving back in the UK on the 25th May and, after a day of sleep, will get our notes on the Cook Islands online.

In the meantime, kick back and relax — that’s what we’ll be doing, in between fighting off bouts of the excitement of the knowledge that we’ll seeing our family and friends again soon!
