It’s been almost two years since my last holiday. Slack. I remember the zeal I felt for travel (and regular breaks) after my last trip. It waned. It always does. And sadly becomes another thing at the bottom of my to do list.
I’m scheduled to take a week off with Wolf next week (can’t wait) and it’s spurred me to plan an adventure. I like the notion of travelling now that he can be entertained by his PSP, PS Vita and DSi during flights.
It would just be the two of us going so I have to carefully consider our options. We need to go during the school holidays. I want him to experience new and different cultures. I want us to share stories. And I need to be able to get by with the basics of a different language. Man I suck at learning new languages.
So. Our choices so far are Japan for two weeks or Scotland, Paris, Spain and Greece for 3-4 weeks. I love Japan however, we can visit my Dad’s family in Scotland and my gorgeous cousin in Greece (on a Greek Island!) with our European option.
Who am I kidding? There’s definitely a clear winner, isn’t there?
