Mark finally has his sabbatical to take this year so we’ve been spending time trying to decide where to go. The kids are definitely still jaded from the last trip and the girls in particular just want to stay at home. Unless he uses the sabbatical he loses it so we need to go somewhere. We got permission from the kids schools for them to take the week off at the end of term 3 so we can go for 4 weeks.
After much deliberation and hours spent (mainly by Mark) searching for airfares we booked to go to Europe. At this stage we’ve booked to leave here on 9 September and fly into Rome via Singapore and then leave Paris on 7 October arriving into Chch via Singapore on 9 October.
Now to plan the bit’s in the middle! Current thoughts are a villa in Puglia (Italy), Rome, Barcelona and Paris but we’ll see what the kids want to do and then make some decisions.
