Holidays redux

So, I was planning to go to India next August with a couple of people
from work.

The most careful plans usually don´t work out as you plan them. I had
asked Mum and Ali to bring me books, pictures, maps, guides ... I had
checked in boards and asked people around, and at the end, my boss
decided that it would be interesting to have someone around here during
the month of August.

So, I have bowed out of the trip, and I am now trying to get him to
agree to three weeks beginning on the 21st of August. In that case, I
would probably end up going to London for a week, with mum and "Juanito"
... that will be "funny" ...
