You were right - I was supposed to be in the UK for 5 weeks. Unfortunately shi* hit fan wrt work and I felt I needed to be back here to protect my back. So I cut it short by a couple of weeks. Figure I'll need those hols after dealing with the current stress levels pending and after one day back at work getting a feel for it all I'm convinced it was the right decision. I'm a bit miffed at missing people though <-:
