For the past three weeks I’ve been travelling with my
husband and two kids. It’s the first big holiday we’ve ever had, and it’s been
amazing.
Disneyland Hong Kong |
We started in Hong Kong Disneyland for the kids, but since neither
hubby nor me had ever been to Disney it was fun for all of us. The youngest
loved the teacups, again and again and again, while the eldest discovered the
thrill of rollercoasters.
yellow flowers in Death Valley |
After that we went to LA and began our tour of the west
coast that included San Diego Seaworld, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Death
Valley and San Francisco. The flight over the Grand Canyon was spectacular (my
credit card bill will be waiting when I get home). And we were lucky enough to
see flowers in Death Valley which I’m told is pretty rare.
This week I’m in Chicago for the RT Convention before
heading off to NY and then Niagara and home via Dubai.

All those different climates, and different occasions, have
had to come from the one suitcase because juggling more than a once case per
person plus two kids with all the travel we’ve done would be too much. So even
though I won’t be wearing any costumes at RT I did pack heels and nice dresses.
I also managed to slip in some double coat tim tams and some goblin gold
(chocolate) coins into my case.
While it’s still two weeks until I get home, and I’ve got
all kinds of new adventures to have in that time, I am looking forward to
having a whole wardrobe of clothes to choose from again.
Then I shall start thinking of places to go on our next
holiday…but I have some saving to do between now and then.
Quite the trip! Hope you enjoy the rest of the time!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous trip. All that traveling with two children, my hat's off to you! :D While in California you didn't visit the original Disneyland? It's the best one. :D I'm glad you visited SeaWorld, that's a great park too. I'm originally from California and I've never visited the Grand Canyon. I'm going to have to plan to go someday.
ReplyDeleteWow, impressive--both the places you mentioned and the fact that you can distill your packing so efficiently. One of these days I will have to get a stamp on my passport, sigh.
ReplyDeleteHey! I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you a bit this weekend and what a treat to meet you beatiful family too. Have a blast on the rest of you trip. xx
ReplyDeleteThe suitcase is struggling now with all the books from RT :)
ReplyDeleteSara, great to meet you too!
