I don't know you personally but every time you post, you make me laugh. Yes even with the way you worded this one I had a giggle. Mate, I reacon your a good bloke and things will turn around for you and you will enjoy the Cape trip just like planed. I would be happy to travel up to Coffs to help you out if needed, Just let me know. Good luck and chin up pal.
Steve
