Whilst some people buy sports cars for their mid-life crisis, I opted to go some place exotic. This trip grew from one exotic dive location to.., well.., many. The plan is to go east to west staying pretty much in the South Seas. First stop Fiji, then-&gt;Sydney-&gt;Melbourne-&gt;Bali-&gt;Singapore-&gt;Phuket-&gt;Bangkok-&gt;Oman-&gt;Paris-&gt;London-&gt;home (San Diego)</description>
