After a day of searching we've booked a cruise (after my husband said he'd never go on one) it was the only thing we fancied.
We start at Palma, Majorca on Friday, a full day cruising then to Messina in Sicily, Naples, Livorno, Italy then Toulon then Barcelona and Valencia Spain then back to Palma arriving back home Saturday 19th.
I'll have to unpack and then repack, I'll have to be a bit posher on a cruise. Instead of wearing the jeans and trousers and casual wear that caravan camping needs, I'll need a posher pair of shoes to wear with skirts. Chris didn't bank on this
Now the children are going on a plane and a ship. Now I have more humour about the situation, as we were driving away from the airport after the snow had nearly gone, the planes were flying overhead and the children were 'Look Mummy, Daddy aeroplanes' we didn't want to look at them. The radio was playing songs about snowing all the way home, we switched off in the end. On the way back we drove past four airports. Yes we had decided to by pass them all in favour of Gatwick and British Airways.
There's a moral here somewhere. I've not worked it out yet.
Markfp, We went to Cong last summer, I drove my husband mad following all the walks and seeing the sights, it is so gorgeous.
