Since our boys were babies, we've talked about and dreamed about travelling with them. Last year, we started seriously talking about a family trip to Canada and the USA. We were excited. The boys were excited. But would it happen? Would we be brave enough? Could we actually do it?
We decided to firstly see Canada, so the boys could see where I (Meaghan) was born. They had told us that they wanted to see "where Mummy was a little girl". We then decided that while we were "that close", we'd take the boys to Disneyland and throw in New York for good measure. So, Toronto will be a mix of sentimental and tourist, the other two destinations, pure tourist. The itinerary has changed so many times that it's not funny. We've had so many, it's been hard to keep track of where we thought we were going, where we wanted to go, and where we're actually going to end up going. However, after hours and hours a couple of weekends ago, we've narrowed it down, and finally feel like we know what we're doing.
So, now that we know the where, let's talk about the who. Well, there's us, Paul and Meaghan. We've been married for 10.5 years. Our two sons, who are 9 and 7. And Paul's Dad, who will be joining us on our adventure.
We are now only six weeks away, and panic is starting to set in. We are still working on improving everyone's fitness. Hotels in two cities remain unbooked. We have given very little thought to what we should pack. Our boys' passports still haven't arrived (but hopefully will in the next week).
Basically we have had a great idea that could still fall over during the implementation stage.
