Good luck Jacko, I gave up international work back in 98 for similar reasons, I hadn’t seen my girls grow up and wife had a son in 97 so decideded enough was enough, I was doing the Balkans at the time with all the troubles out there so wifey decided for me really. Some 14 years later and I still get the itchy feet to get back on the continent and now my lad is nearly 15 I am looking at getting back over there, just trying to find a job running over the water is a damm sight harder now than it was in the 80’s/90’s.
As for missing it while sat at the RDC’s don’t worry mate…you will get to meet all the guys that have been to China, missed the Herald of Free Enterprise, done the M/E and been in the Blanc when the fire happended, thing is you will meet them everyday now instead of just on the ferry/train
i was actually the one who put the fire out with my load of top secret sas fire retardant. but it did make me late for the herald .
