Some kids have all the fun!

June 25, 2010 on 5:09 pm | In Culture, Travel | No Comments

So say my two youngest children. It appears that we lag behind some of their friends when it comes to taking holidays in the kinds of locations that kids reckon are the best. Now, our kids are pretty well travelled for their young ages – in recent years they have lived in France, travelled all over Spain, seen a solar eclipse in Turkey and eaten a ton of pizza in Venice. But there’s somewhere they want to go…

Many of their friends are going on Disney vacations in the summer break and it seems our kids feel a bit left out by being the only one’s who have not yet been to visit Mickey Mouse. They have been to Portaventura in Spain though to see Woody Woodpecker – and that is where James cut his eye open on one of the slides.

Florida sounds good to me…

November 20, 2009 on 3:27 pm | In Culture, Travel | No Comments

floridaWhen you are living in the UK and seeing how dim the afternoons have become you know that winter has arrived and it is going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. If it wasn’t for Xmas coming halfway through and adding a bit of brightness and joy to the dreariness of winter I wonder if the UK would have anyone left here in December. This is the time of year when people go away and have xmas in a warmer location.

While we cannot do that it sounds like a great idea and  destin florida vacation rentals look like they are just the medicine for people suffering from that seasonal disorder syndrome. I have been told that going there at this time of year means you have to go elbow to elbow with other tourists all looking for some warmth and sun – I could handle it I think, anything to get away from this bitter cold weather!

My advice…go back to road maps!

July 4, 2009 on 1:15 pm | In Travel | No Comments

We have just completed a major road trip through France, Spain and Italy and the one huge headache we had was following the new navigator that we bought recently. I have since wondered how many marriages have foundered since these new gps systems became commonplace in people’s cars…?

We got lost so many times, ended up on rural roads, farm tracks and private drives that in the end we gave up and got out the good old road map. At least it doesn’t talk at you in some annoying voice!
