We're not world travellers. It's just a cold, hard, fact.
This is not because we do not want to travel, but being a single mum sometimes means you don't get to do extravagant things, like travel abroad....at least not at the moment. That said, it does not mean that my children and I can't learn about life else where. It is with this that we begin our summer Stay-cation.
The itinerary is chock-a-block full. We are starting in Northern Africa (Egypt, Morocco) and then travelling counter-clockwise around the continent, ending in Madagascar. From there we are heading to Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, India, Russia, Ireland, Scotland and finally Mexico. My son is anxious to add a stop in Las Vegas- but I think he just wants and excuse to dress like Elvis.
Our trip includes many crafts, foods, and music- all the things that make life worth living (at least in my humble opinion). I look forward to sharing our creations soon. We should be in Egypt by Wednesday!!
What a wonderful idea ! and I think children remember and enjoy the simple things in life. We once asked our boys if they wanted to travel abroad and they both wanted to stay in England and go to Brixham Devon. The simple pleasure of crab fishing and pebble skimming was more than enough.
