Fleeing the country this summer??

Since I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get a chance to go boating anywhere particularly foreign this summer (does Scotland for the Andy Jackson weekend in Sept count as foreign? ;-)) would anyone like to depress me further and gloat about where they're off to paddling in 2008?
To be fair I did manage Nepal last year and maybe a couple of other trips then too (no one would probably know about those though as I'm obviously such a quiet, unassuming sort of person) so I probably shouldn't feel too sorry for myself.
Come on. Depress me. Bring it......

I've only got the two holidays booked so far :D. Off to the French Alps in May/June for a warm up to the mighty Norway in July!
Although with that said I haven't been able to get in my Mamba since December :(

Perhaps some sort of diet would be in order?? ;-)

Sunny Slovenia for me this time next week. I believe 14 club members are going. According to UKRGB & GENE17 water levels are high and its warm and sunny. Only problem is its going to be crowded, many brits and its a public holiday in Europe.
