Trying to battle Auckland motorway traffic while on holiday is a nightmare. Photo / NZME.
As I mentioned in last week's column, I am on holiday this week from my radio show on The Hits Rotorua, so "Aloha" from the sunny sands of Waikiki Beach in Hawaii.
The cocktails are flowing, the sunscreen is on and we have been frolicking in the warm waters. Well
at least we were in my dreams as the holiday in reality is far from that.
There has certainly been no use of the passports, although I will admit that I have been to Auckland International Airport but that was for other family reasons. For us it's a bit of time in Auckland settling my son into his new place and studying routine, and then some time in Taupo as well.
I write this at pretty much the halfway point of a short break away from the office, and I must admit that work has been a long way away from my mind which I suppose is what holidays are for, right?
Those who know me pretty well would probably describe me as a bit of a workaholic, with a few side projects on the go alongside my full-time radio role. These can all add up to making getting away from it all pretty darn hard, and I suppose the fact I am here writing this right now is proof of that.
