Mini Pre-Trippie: The Return of Three Jedi
Hello!
Welcome to our mini pre-trippie. We have imaginatively titled this The Return of Three Jedi because … Yep! There are 3 of us. The Cast 1. Me, aka ‘mummy’ 43 year old chief planner. 2. DS, aka ‘Thomas’ or the ‘T’ in ‘G&T’ 10 years old likes Pokémon dislikes football. 3. DS, aka ‘George’ or the ‘G’ in ‘G&T’ 9 years old likes football dislikes Pokémon. Why We Are Going Well this will be our third trip but our last was in 2011. Basically, I was chatting to G one day and casually asked you do remember America don’t you? “yes” [slight pause] “I remember eating an apple”. Having seen the alarm on my face he attempted a calming follow up ... “and I like apples”. Now I like apples too but I don’t generally spend Ł9K on the memory of eating one however scrumptious it was. The Start of the Plan So this was it my youngest has to go back because he has forgotten his once in a lifetime holiday where the memories are priceless and will last a lifetime. Also my eldest will be going up to big school next year and will immediately become a sulky adolescent who will not like Disney (yes I know he won’t like puppies or rainbows or air either). So we had to go in 2017, I started to explain this to my Mum “yes that is lovely dear and it is something for you to think about” A bit more chatting later… “BUT YOU HAVEN’T ACTUALLY PUT DOWN A DEPOSIT HAVE YOU?” The Plan So the plan is to do just Disney this time, being a single mum this will be our first holiday just the 3 of us and I decided that 2 weeks on site with QSDP and the ME would make life so much easier for me. So two weeks at POFQ, next was the flights, two weeks on site was more money than I like to think about so I set a budget of Ł500pp for flights. I was amazed to find direct flights in the August school holidays within budget. Thanks Air Norwegian! Yes we only have hand luggage and will not have an inflight meal or sit next to each other but some of that is a positive bonus. I mean who needs to be with their family or have clothes or eat when you are going to Disney World right? Interest in the plan Interest from my darling children who I am spending all my hard earned money on is like this; Me: “Yay, we are going to Disney and it is going to be the best holiday in the world ever” G&T: “When are we going?” Me: “96 days, 12 hours and 52 mins” G&T: “hmm”
