The Cast:

Peter loves Pompey,weather,sunshine,Florida and Fun
Kieran 14 loves Pompey having fun and will always be a disney Dude
Julian 16 loves pompey and rock music
featuring Jordan almost 18 loves giving his mum grey hairs
so the day had finally arrived, part of me was very excited, the other part of me was terrified as my eldest son had decided he wasnt coming this year
For months I thought I had it all sorted my Dad had agreed to come down and keep an eye. 5 days before our Holidays and I recieved a phone call to say this would be no longer happening, I wont go into details but I was furious as it didnt give me much time to make alternative arrangements . I managed to get myself in a right state before our Holidays almost thinking we should cancel, I really did go overboard with worry when there was no need, anyway Nan stepped in and made arrangements to check in with Jordan every few days.
Pete was at work till 4 so Poor Jordan was given so many instructions by me through out the day. Before I knew it it was early evening and we went out for dinner at the local Harvester and then it was time to drop Jordan home and say goodbye. There were quite a few tears but Jordan did make me laugh he gave me a big hug and said "for goodnesss sake Mum I am not going to kill myself,set the house on fire,lose my keys lock myself out or any of the other daft things you,ve been worring about so go and have a fantastic holiday" so at this point Pete and the boys bundled me in the car and we were on our way to the crowne plaza at heathrow.
The Hotel was very nice and we had two rooms the boys quickly made themselves at home

Pete and I settled down and watched some Tv, Jordan sent a text to say I had forgotten my mp3 and not to worry he would be fine so after a very emotional day i drifted of to sleep.
woke up to the Alarm and checked out and headed to terminal 3, through security quickly and our flight to Miami was on time. Had breakfast in the Bridge was ok but expensive. Boarding was on time but then delayed while two passengers were removed from the flight.
Flight was uneventful and we landed on time, Miami immigration took forever and was soo slow but we eventually made it through and we caught the shutle to the car hire. we picked a VW people carrier set the sat nav for the Holiday Inn Miami and we were on our way.
Arrived at the hotel and checked in

we had a lovely time and i finally started to relax as I had called Jordan and he had been out with friends had fish and chips for dinner and was spending the evening plaing on x box live with friends. We ordered Pizza and ate in the room looking at the ocean we had connecting rooms so the boys went into theirs and watched tv and I checked the internet and emails then settled down and went to bed.
up next an early start, south beach and a long drive...

Oh Rachel, I know exactly how you felt. I think the whole build up to leaving anyone at home is actually worse than when your actually away, and I certainly didn't like having to say 'goodbye'
