Okay I whimpered a bit to my hubby last night. ‘Come on, lets plan the next holiday already. I know we’ve just been on one, but we have to just book it or we won’t get around to it.’
Sooo…next stop Vietnam! Hopefully in June next year (off peak wedding season!). I have always wanted to go to Halong Bay so this is it! We won’t be taking all the kids this time. Just the Chunk. Tobes and Amber can stay with their respective parents (see, stepfamilies do work!)
I can’t wait! Bring on my tax refund - it will be paying for the tickets! woo hoo
Just so the big kids don’t miss out, we’ll be taking them to Kalbarri in late Jan for a week. Wow, 3 holidays within a year, I’m doin’ well. I am a bit of a traveller for those that don’t know me and want to see as much as I can before my number’s up. Anyone who tells you that it’s impossible with kids is lying. It can be done; it just brings a different dimension to the travelling. I find, especially in SE Asia, that having kids is a way into the culture. Sooo many Thai people wanted to talk to the kids, play with Charlie and it was our way of getting to know them. Some Thai girls even picked Charlie up and gave him a cuddle, then went off to show their friends. Once you got over the ‘where are you taking my baby?’ issue, it became hilarious how popular he was.
Here’s one such incident - although Chunk doesn’t look too happy. Not his type maybe…He’s so picky with women!
