THE SEVEN MONTHS LATE TRIP REPORT
Sorry for the slight delay in getting these reports to you!
I could spout on about “how busy I’ve been” and “how I have been too depressed at the thought of reliving the past” and probably a million other excuses – but – I have to be honest and tell you that - I have been really busy - and I have been depressed - and there are a million other reasons - erm - I’m also very lazy!
Oh well – fasten your seatbelt – hold on to your hats – keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times during this ride ‘cos here we go for the fabulous “2nd trip of a lifetime” with the FLORRIES………
This trip was 8 months in the planning for me. I bought and read all the statutory books – purchased my “leather?” bound copy of the Passporter – created spreadsheets for quiet/busy days - plotted which parks/restaurants/when/what and where – photo-copied – laminated – hole punched and filed…….JOB DONE…….now what do I do for the next 7 months?
THE LEGEND (or does that read Leg End?)
DW – Lena - the wrong side of 40-something – wearing quite well despite the years – chief navigator and extremely good at telling me where I should have turned off (after we have passed the junction!) - …..Sorry – got to stop here (ear stinging from vicious and totally unprovoked blow).
DS2 – Ricky - (Moby Rick – you’ll see later!) 15 – sullen teenager – always correct about everything – constantly asking what the time is and then contradicting the answer! – ask’s about ninety-twelve questions per hour
DD – Hannah - (Princess Perfect) – OOHH! Look at the world revolving around me! – I want….I want….I want…..(you get the picture?)
ME – Tim - Bronzed Adonis, thighs like tug boats, legs like a gazelle (Ahem!) – Formerly know as “Dad” (more usually just “oi” or “Grumpy”) – chauffer – ATM – and “weren’t you the bloke who was supposed to have planned all this?” – Severely impaired by Disneyitis and a complete Orlandophile.
Now let me just say here for the record – before you judge! – I love my wife and kids more than life itself but after 20 days of a 14 day holiday lets just say there were some moments when……….!
WARNING – The following reports will be Boring, Long Winded, Repetitive and probably very similar to everyone else’s – so – I will try to “spice them up” with some SEX, DRUGS & ROCK&ROLL – well – paracetamol, Disney tunes and a rather embarrassing moment in the underwater viewing chamber at Sea world actually but that’s the best I can do……
