September update
Hello again, for this blog I thought it would be interesting to ask each of my family members a few questions about what they’re thinking about our trip…
Looking forward to:
BK – the first flight
Me – living local, last time Brendan and I did the very (expensive) touristy things, we also trained Europe so only really got to see the inner cities, this time I want us to get in the ‘burbs and have had this at the forefront of my brain as I’ve planned…oh and adding more countries to my count 😛
Master 7 – learning different languages – no one told him he would be or would have to. I find his answer fascinating and am now putting my feelers out on how to get this rolling for him
Miss 4 – looking at everything around the world and going on a plane
Not looking forward to:
BK – family meltdowns
Me – Being with my family, all day. every day. As much as I love them with all my heart. This Mummy needs her space and I think it’s going to be my biggest challenge.
Master 7 – not seeing my friends
Miss 4 – I’ll miss my toys and my friends
Miss from home:
BK – my home brewing beer kit
Me – familiarity
Master 7 – Lego
Miss 4 – toys
Destinations:
BK – USA & Ireland
Me – USA & SE Asia
Master 7 – Africa
Miss 4 – a place with unicorns! (Uh? Disneyland?)
Experience:
BK – Sampling the worlds beers
Me – Watoto orphanage,
Master 7 – Safari
Miss 4 – Pepper Pig world
So we’ll see how those answers change.
The kids know they’re going and happily tell anyone but really, at 4 and 7 years old and only having been to Australia (but are very well traveled in NZ, having extensively traveled every corner of the north island in the past 3 years), really have noooooo idea what they’re in for!
Till next time!
