Paul makes a deal

I hadn't really thought that much more seriously about it as work was busy and I was pretty skint. It wasn't until Paul brings it up again that the road trip seemed a lot more appealing.

"Just offer what ever you can afford and still come along" he suggested. This made my decision easier. I was saving money for my first film Peppermint (www.peppermintthefilm.com), and I was reluctant to spend more on an impromptu holiday. I still didn't confirm that I would definately go, as I was concerned whether I would get the time off work.

But Paul was my boss, and that didn't concern him too much.

How it all began

Usually when you come back from holiday you are all relaxed and ready to take on the world again. But when I stepped foot into my office I was tired before I had even begun.

I had just spent Christmas and New Year skiing with friends, cramped up in a small apartment in the Alps. I vowed that my next holiday would be more relaxing and spent in a far more spacious environment.

Just as I sat down to my desk I was interrupted by my boss, Paul. "Now probably isn't the time, but I wondered what you thought of a possible road trip to Morocco this Easter?"

"I'll think about it" I replied, dreading the idea.
