A trip to sunny California, departing this week.

Getting ready ..

Our dream holiday is only days away now and the rollercoaster of anticipation has been delicious!
I have never felt that I needed a holiday - we live in a holiday location and I feed off the tourists enthusiasm when I talk to them, explaining what it's like to live here and notice them  soaking their surroundings in.

But I now understand why the 2 week family holiday is such a popular concept. It has kept us going through tough times and given us something magical and comical to talk about and wonder over.

I am so looking forward to our road trip - I want to be surprised, to become reflective and have a break from the norm to gain some new perspective.  I'm not expecting a Hunter S Thompsom trip, but to feel the desert, away from Lochs, would be an interesting change...
