So here I go... Once again I'm plunging myself into the loooooong commitment of writing up a trip report
I'm the first to admit that I find it very tedious, tiring, challenging and out right frustrating at times writing up a report, but the end result for me is so very worth it.
I cant tell you how many times we look back on our 2013 report, we never tire of it, I even search for my partial 2010 one (would it be worth completing that one now? I often wonder if I could, such a shame as that one was jam packed of our 1st visit emotions and excitement
) so I feel I need to do one for this trip, what with it being our last as a family group (that is unless we come into some hard cash over the next few years!)
So yes, it's for me and my family to read and enjoy, but, being on the Dibb it will more than likely lure a few fellow dibbers in for the journey, for those that do take a nosey I hope you enjoy it, apologies if any days are picture heavy, and apologies if you don't enjoy pictures of food, sorry if you don't like cheesy grins and stay away if you don't 'do Disney' because we certainly do!
I will ask that if you enjoy the read each day, please leave a little message, I don't know why, but having messages on my previous reports really helped me to keep going, and re-reading them gave me the umph I needed to complete it! Silly I know, but it really does feel good to see a new reply
So, it's up to you how you read this, I can't do numerous days at a time as each day seems to take me forever
I know that some dibbers only like to read a completed report, this may take me a few weeks
I will try my hardest not to take too long over it though, but please forgive me if life get's in the way from time to time.
Welcome on board, hope you enjoy xxx
