16 years on - here we go at last
Warning - I ramble on - I might tell you where we are going in about 3 posts time
So, my ( our ?) first ever pre-trippie. To be fair , the real reason I'm doing it is to make me agree with that little voice in my head that says " stop reading about what others have done or are doing , and get on with what you are going to do - you are going in 4 months time" Oh ,and hence to act as a " to do list" The story so far Back in 1997 , I got married in what was then cypress gardens ( now legoland ) in Florida . It was fantastic . Great day , great memories , great holiday. I was hooked on USA and Disney. The missus ( more on her later - she does have a name ) ) used to work at airtours , so we got cheap holidays Lets take advantage and do the magic triangle , Vegas , San Fran and LA we thought. Had it all in our head to do it in 1999 when we'd saved up a bit. But fate played its hand , and well in September 1998 , out popped our beautiful daughter Emma. And that was the great adventure put on ice. For 16 years. Things move slowly in Bury. Now , after son Sam came along in 2003 , we've managed 2 family trips to wdw and 3 to disneyland paris ( one of which part of a much longer longer to France - chronicled in a trip report across these 4 posts - http://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=654439 - http://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=654717 - http://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=656852 - http://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=657081. ) , but never made it to the west coast. Until now ( well 10th August to be precise ) So who's going ? There's me - Graham , 46 , organiser of everything , only dibber , works hard, plays hard , tight northerner accountant The missus , Rachel , coming up to 42 , part time school office worker , general kid taxi. Works hard, so loves nothing more than lying on a beach falling asleep. ( well, there won't be much chance of that on this holiday ) Dear daughter Emma.now 15, Caring, quiet hard working. Enjoys shopping ( help) , Disney and " making" Dear Son Sam , soon to be 11 , typical lad, into football, rolling around in the mud, making a noise and a mess . Takes after his dad. Right, sorry , you'll have to come back tomorrow to see where we are going. My bed is calling me . Edited at 09:31 PM. |
