Tada!! A thread for people who are genuinely excited about their holidays :)We are off on holiday in a little over 3 weeks and the men of the household (DH and DS (8)) are being decidedly reserved about it all- grrrr! I on the other hand am so excited I cannot sleep at times :o
Having spent most of my childhood visiting if we were unlucky the same Pontins site year after year I LOVE holidays and plan with an almost maniacal devotion and enthusiasm. This year, after two very wet years camping in the UK, we are returning to the South of France. It is a cheapy EuroCamp tent job as I am researching for taking my own stuff next time and DH and DS are mutinying at the idea of ever camping again
We are going on the Tunnel (another source of great anticipation for me :o) as we are taking the ginger dog and having an overnight stop there and back to give my knees the car a break. This means that we effectively only have 5 nights on our main site but its the best we could afford.
The downside being that if I do not manage to sell the spare car (not as grand as it sounds, DH now has a works van :o) we will have no spending money, and I do not yet have my new passport (it should be on its way to me any day now
) The sat-nav is also grossly out of date so I may have to rely on DH's "legandary" map reading. This is not enough to deter me and I plough on with my fanatical reading of maps and websites while THEY roll their eyes and say things like "its AGES away yet"
They also accuse me of making a small clicky sort of tutting noise which I only do when I get excited, this is apparently also "too soon"
So we are going to catch crayfish, go rock climbing (me anyway) go to the markets, take the blow up boat out, go geocaching, eat starling (!) and generally eat, drink and be merry :)
Where is everyone else off to and up to then?
