High days and Holidays

[camile_sinensis]

I have ignored it for as long as I can. Donned my polarised, wrap-around, Do-Not-Want spectacles, sung "La la la!" in a loud and irritatingly off-key manner and successfully banished all trace of it from every corner of my conscious mind*, but I can put it off no longer. I must acknowledge its existence, for it is creeping up on me as inexorably

sure as shootin' beats the snot outta my trip to Ohio. No offense to Ohio or anything, but c'mon ... ITALY???

We'll require pictures of course- video if you get drunk and harangue from the pulpit (offers bribe to Daughter)

I'm sure Ohio is...er... interesting.

What do you mean if I get drunk.... (and Daughter rarely requires bribing for that sort of thing!)

I think the Husband deserves major kudos. I would go there in a heartbeat. In my case, the husband doesn't do anything to plan a trip, at all, except to grouse about all my choices once we get somewhere. Grrr.

I'm sure he was a Travel Agent in a previous life. I don't do anything - I just get given an itinerary. Which is fine by me, I'd never go anywhere if it was left up to me!

Wow looks amazing!!!

I like to think of it as my reward for all those holidays spent in a tent in Wales ;-)

My envy knows no bounds, I can't stop looking at the pictures. What an amazing place and not a red plastic chair in sight. Indeed, I think any red plastic chair would quiver in shame at sullying such a place with its miserable presence.

Good luck with Going On Holiday. Perhaps valium and gin might be a good way of getting through that part of the whole experience?

[camile_sinensis]

I did feel a little shame-faced when I rejected that place based on the colour and material of its kitchen chair - there is such a thing as being perhaps a little picky - but it only caused TH to redouble his efforts with greater enthusiasm. I like to think of it as being similar to throwing a stick for a dog to fetch... they enjoy it really!

Gin will certainly be administered liberally and frequently!

Goodness, gracious! Have a great time- certainly the environment is going to be absolutely splendid and memorable. I hope you do enjoy your time on holiday! :D

[camile_sinensis]

Thanks - I'm sure it will be quite an experience living in this place, even for a week! (although I'm sure it'll take me even longer than that to get over the feelign that I really ought to be in a tent in Wales ;-)
