Having a whale of a time in Paris

Disneyland Resort Paris

Image by webast via Flickr Well, we’re in Paris and I’ve just got myself some Wifi to get online for a bit, pick up my mail and see what’s going on. Both Arthur and Camille need more sleep than I do (well, one is 3 years old and the other is carrying twins, so you…

Taking you all on holiday

The Florence Cathedral in the evening sun.

Image via Wikipedia Ok, in my previous post, I said that I’ll try and keep my readers up to date with when and how we’ll be going on holiday to Tuscany. As I said, I won’t be using any live video streaming services; first of all, it’s a family holiday, and secondly I doubt if…

And we won!

Castiglioncello (Italy, Tuscany, district of L...

Image via Wikipedia Following my call for people to vote for us for the trip to Tuscany competition (see my previous post), I’m please to announce that we actually WON the competition! We got some pretty awesome support actually, with a total of 51 votes. I guess I must have over-marketed (over-begged) for attention as…

A great time at Butlins

I’ve just downloaded the photos of our trip to Butlins and knocked up a quick video to show friends and family what a great time we had. I must say, it was a pleasant surprise; I didn’t really know what to expect, and we ended up having so much fun with loads of different activities…

Off to Butlins this weekend

Butlin

Image via Wikipedia We’re off to Butlins this weekend; after deciding we wanted to have a weekend away for Father’s Day. I must say, the family camp holiday is totally new to me; my only exposure has been old movies, of the Carry On type. Not that I’m expecting that sort of thing; I’m pretty…

Our holidays

Michael Eisner announces, “Et maintenant je da\'©...

Image via Wikipedia My last post implied we’re only going to Butlins this year, but it’s actually only one of our holidays; we’re also going to Disneyland Paris, which is our big holiday of the year. It’s our 10th anniversary and we had really been planning to go on a cruise, but which Camille being…

Taking a holiday at Butlins

Butlin

Image via Wikipedia So this year we’ll be taking an additional holiday and spending a long weekend at Butlins in Skegness. To be perfectly honest, I’ve never actually been to Butlins before, but I hear it’s a great family holiday. It’s just the 3 of us at the moment, but when the twins start growing…

Staying home for Christmas

This year we’re staying home and Camille‘s family is visiting us. Last year we went to Malta, but Christmas is so much nicer here in the British Isles. It feels more like Christmas when it’s all frosty outside, when you have a real tree in your living room, when everyone has their fingers crossed that…

Where in New Jersey

Here’s a place I wouldn’t mind going on holiday. I was speaking to some friends of ours about a Jersey Shore beach vacation they had taken. Now I’ve never been to New Jersey, but apparently one of the top New Jersey attractions are the rides down at the amusement park called Morey’s Piers. So I…

Thinking about holidays

City of Las Vegas

Booking out trip to Edinburgh has put me in the frame of mine to think about our big trip next year. It’s out 10th wedding anniversary, so really time to lay on a really big trip. We’re thinking about a cruise with maybe a stop over at Disney world, but still not 100% on that….
