[I like your idea, finella. Yes, I do. Imprisonment sounds perfect to me!Actually, when my children asked what I wanted for Mother's Day last year I said "a trip on a bus over to Western Australia (on the other side of the country) and then a train ticket on the Indian-Pacific to get me most of the way back". No mobile phone. No computer. No husband. No children. No school. Life on hold with just my RotE books and me. Ahhhh...what a gift that would be!

But in a bus you get stiff too soon, and it's too narrow.(unless the australian buses are completely different to the german ones) The train sounds perfect. I come with you .
