2 months off, what to do

[TheParraboy]

So your last day at work is , ohhh , say Saturday 1/9. And you are told to be back at work on Nov 1.

How do you spend your holiday or this time off ? And your salary is let’s say anywhere from 150k to 940k per annum.

If you don't have a ball and chain you travel. If it is me (and I didn't have a ball and chain) I am already in the US watching sport etc. But since I have never been to Europe I am also looking into spending a few weeks there as well.

US Golf Trip. Bethpage Black, Pebble Beach, Kiawah Island, Brandon Dunes, Whistling Straits, RTJ Trail...You know it makes sense.

I know a bloke who's a golf nut, and whose surname is Black... When his daughter was born, they named her Beth and middle name is Page... To this day I'm not sure if his wife knows why she's named Beth Page....

If it's me, I'm organising pizza nights at Hindy's, and hitting the casino.

Some of our players should spend 2 months working out what their future careers are going to be. Go to England and have a look at some clubs you might want to play for.

 

[Gronk]

Phi Phi or Nha Trang

 

[Parra Pride]

Off to see King James and the Lakers.

Start my own firm. I've travelled, it's not that special. I'd rather direct people around.

This is no time to be sensible mate. You're 22 years old and earning $10,000 a week FFS.

Eight weeks in Yamba, return to training late because I'd be on Yamba time.

Go bush.

Go bush.

Excellent idea.
Jump in the car and just drive. See some of NSW, or even parts of other states. Find cheap hotels and visit local tourist attractions. This country has some amazing scenery and great drives. I'll name a few if you ask nicely @TheParraboy

Finally go to the US and drive from LA over to New York.

Decent pit stop in Vegas.

A lap of Parramatta Park and a tour of the stadium construction site?

Bevan French should hit the gym every day until the pre season.

I'm sure the professional Melbourne athletes have targeted weights and fitness programs during the orf season.

Norman on the other hand wouldn't have the dedication to do jack schitt

Sorry, I took this hypothetical as a normal person. I completely missed the reference.

I'll head to Colombia, bang hot bitches and sniff sniff.

A road trip from Alice to the Kimberley up the Tanami Track ending up in Darwin. I think that would be a very good thing for our squad to do. I get the sense not many of them have been outside of Sydney (apart from for games).

Suity, your best places to visit outside the metro area? I personally love the Blue Mountains, south coast, Snowy Mountains and the coast between Sydney and the QLD border. I've never been west of Dubbo so I can't comment of that. Since moving up to QLD I have found a bunch of great places to visit, and I've only scratched the surface.

Not sure about best places. But nicest drives..... (in no particular order)

1. Thunderbolts Way - from Dungog to Armidale.
2. Armidale to Coffs Harbour via Dorrigo and Bellingen
3. Bowral/Moss Vale - Nowra via Kangaroo Valley.
4. Tumut to Cooma via Kiandra
5. Bega to Cooma via Nimmitabel
6. Katoomba - Oberon - Goulburn.

These are absolutely stunning drives scenery wise and there are plenty of lookouts to stop at along the way to get some great pics.
