Here we go again ...

[batleyboy26]

Although it’s said nearly every year, I think this really will be our last family holiday for a while. Our DSs will be 25 and 23 and youngest DS is bringing his GF along (also 23). Youngest has got a place on a 2 year’s Masters course at Leeds Uni starting in Sept and will only get 3 weeks holiday next summer. As eldest DS is a teacher and and I am a school administrator, we have to go in school holidays and not sure if they will all tie up at the moment and even if they do, if the flight prices are not good, we won’t be going (we are paying for the Masters course so that’s costing us a fortune!).

Youngest DS’s GF is fortunate enough to be extremely well travelled but her mum never fancied theme parks so GF is very excited about coming with us and seeing Disney and Universal.

So, here goes:-

I have to confess I wasn't really concentrating that much past arrival day.

Was busy thinking about Bamboo Wok and General Tso's chicken ☺️

Think it's time for my breakfast!

We’ve got to have Bamboo Wok on arrival night - it’s as traditional as Manny’s on the last night. I can probably put money on us having it again on the evening I’ve got pizza from Walmart pencilled in!
