Appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Give it a go mate.

At 12 weeks old you're not missing 1st steps, or 1st day at school, might be the first step for your next career move though.

It’s only a stint of two weeks then another stint if 1 week right?

No brainer to me. Video calls are awesome these days. It will go super fast.

Agree with the others that 3 months would be the length of time where it would be quite hard

Not PhysioXtra. Thought I'd try somewhere new.


Marion Physiotherapy on Marion Rd near Sturt road (west side).

Just make sure you have a good think about it first mate, I'm gathering you two wouldn't of had many nights apart since you became "official", you don't want to get up there and realize a few nights in that it seems too long.

I'm sort of facing something similar as we have a new site opening in Victoria which would benefit me in the long run if I put my hand up now, I could get stuck there for years though and have to fly home each weekend.

As long as you make a joint decision with the available information you have you can’t go wrong.

Yeah I definitely couldn't do months on months. I'm the first to admit a long distance relationship wouldn't work for me but work have gave assurances that it will not be any longer than the 4 weeks regardless of the situation.

The partner really wants to go an a cruise, it’s literally her dream holiday.

I unfortunately am renowned for getting motion sickness (can barely use my phone while in a passenger seat of the car lol)

How good are these ‘motion sickness’ tablets everyone talks about. Will they be good enough so that I can enjoy the holiday.

What will you do with bubs?

Not that I've been on a cruise ship but I'd gather they'd be pretty placid, but this from someone who can't sit on a train facing the rear.

My first experience was on the Abel Tasman across allegedly the roughest waters in the world, the waves were coming up 3 or 4 levels high, I was as crook as I've ever been.

I just got pissed before boarding the return leg, it seemed to work.

This isn’t a right now thing. But I don’t want to a promise a holiday that may never happen

One of my staff went on a cruise to NZ in March.
Rough waters, bad storms, she will never go on another cruise.
The Motion Sickness tablets worked, but by them before you go, buying them on the ship meant refinancing her mortgage...
