Well here goes. Never done this before so I don't know how interesting it will be but anyways, I have been promising and like to think of myself as one to keep my word.
I suppose it is only polite to properly introduce you to my little family.
It's me (Lee). I don't feature in many photos, mostly because I prefer to be behind the camera and a little bit because there is usually nobody to take a pic of me. So this was taken by my daughter. She thought it was funny because I was really tired an remarked that Eeyore would make a cosy bed for a quick power nap.
And this is my 8 year old daughter Tové, blissfully unaware of what is coming up in a few weeks.
So for those of you who don't already know (probably nobody ), this is my 8 year old daughter's surprise trip!
Last year her dad told her that he would come and see her this year. She was quite concerned that if we went to Disney this year he wouldn't come. He has been promising for about 2 years now .... tick tock Heard it all before and waiting to see anything come of it. Anyway, on the flight home last year I suddenly had a brainwave If we go this year anyway and I play along that we are sitting this one out, I can make it a surprise. Just in case anyone thinks I am really mean, I did contact her dad and tell him my intentions and offered that if he could co-ordinate his dates, he is welcome to join us. I know that he would not come for the two full weeks and would obviously have to arrange his own package as he wouldn't be staying in the room with us , but I thought it would be an awesome surprise for her if we could both pull it off together. Rather unsurprisingly, when I was finalising my ADR list, I spent a week or two trying to get some kind of commitment out of him, and he told me to go ahead and book without him. So I did, but spent a few months on tenderhooks, wondering if he would come and then end up being left on the sidelines when we went for character meals - I didn't want this to happen.
Anyway, all that out the way now and let's move on to the plans
By the way, I am clueless as to how to go about this report, so if I am way off track, please feel free to post so I can make sure it falls in line with the way it should be.
