Itchy feet!

I have come back from my recent travels, with nothing but further travels on my mind!!  Fortunately for me, in unfortunate times, my Mum has left a small inheritance which will be enough to clear my bills, freeing up a significant amount of monthly income, and have some left over for holidays!  So, holidays are being planned, and more than that, booked!

So far, I have booked...

- London with X for 2 nights in London Town, including a show, for my birthday at the beginning of December.

- Edinburgh with X and Y (unless he's got a bloody job by then!!), and my sister and bro-in-law for 4 nights over New Year, for Hogmanay celebrations.

- Iceland with my friend CJ for 3 nights in February, to see the Northern Lights (hopefully!).

- Good old Butlins in Skegness with X, along with friends Bridey and accompanying kids, and new mother Disco,with (by then) 6mth old Disco Junior, for the May bank holiday week.

- Back to Scotland again for the August bank holiday week, with X, and maybe Y.

Other plans for the year include something for the October half term (I was hoping for Orlando, but pennies may not stretch!), and hopefully, Lapland for Christmas!

Next year, I'm hoping to do a month long round the world (currently, London, Miami, LA, (maybe Vancouver), Auckland, Christchurch (to see the fabulous ATM - not that she knows it yet!), Singapore, Dubai, London) over the Christmas/New Year period.  Finances for that are yet to be sorted!   Plus, a week or two in the year just to keep the itch away.

Hopefully, that should keep me occupied for a bit :-)

Wow! We look forward to hearing of your adventures. With so many family members along, I take it you will not avail yourself of Butlins' chief attraction. Remember the old, old myth: Butlins is where they blow a whistle, and everyone changes beds.
