gor[b] Paul Gorbould: Words and Pictures

No monsters

Up, up and away! I'm off on vacation to somewhere sunny and warm, the first time we've taken a decent trip since the kids were born.

They've told me they just want to sit in the sand and play with plastic dinosaurs, which is pretty much all I want to do also. I'm not sure how they'll handle the flight, the hotel, the food, etc... but we'll get by.

We did a test trip a few months ago, staying in a hotel for two nights to see how they'd handle it. We arrived at night, and checked in. My youngest was already crashed out, but my eldest stormed into the hotel room and did a quick spot check, inspecting the room and giving both beds a quick bounce. Her evaluation:

"Nice room. Nice beds. No monsters. It's perfect."

We wrote that on the "how was your stay" card.

See you in a week.
