So it's nearly time for our holibobs again but we just have a slight issue before we go. Having been to the pound shop and bought lots of goodies to hand out to the kids and Nick reading that salt is best for releasing the grip of a leech, we now have 6 water pistols and white powder in our hold luggage. Nick is threatening to deny all knowledge of knowing me! Wish us luck!

We're on our way. A lovely meal at The Romper last night then the first of many bottles of wine as our 3 week journey begins... Cheers!

Yep, it's that time again when we pack up our bags and head off on another road trip. This time, we're headed to Florida Flying into Miami we will head to the Keys, up the West Coast of Florida to Clearwater before turning right and heading towards Daytona. Here we will take a sharp right and travel back down to Miami for our flight home. But, hang on, we haven't even left home yet - that's on Friday, will you follow us and join in our highlights as we take you...

All our bags are packed and after a yummy last "healthy ish" meal en route, we are now settled into the Radisson Blu. The spa is calling for a bit of relaxation this afternoon. In the meantime, Nick is trying to break into the mini bar to store our sandwiches, Imogen has now taken over but is not succeeding, luckily I'm not thirsty!

So the wanderer returns bearing gifts!! She's had a fabulous time on the Orchestra school trip to Germany and is now ready to start packing for the big trip and lots of Californian sunshine!. With one and a half days left in school, we will soon be leaving this miserable weather and heading Stateside again...
