So seriously - whose great idea was this?

It always seemed like a really good idea!  Take the kids back to the UK to see where we grew up, let them experience the joys of travel, meet all their English cousins....after all my parents did it twice, with 3 1/2 kids, to India no less and in the days before email, mobile phones, facebook and blogs, so no sweat.......yeah right!

So a week before leaving we are booked up to our eyeballs, the cases are kind of ready to pack, the house is vaguely ready for our house sitter, and my sister kindly had her baby early so we could meet my nephew before we left.

Despite having travelled extensively in my younger days I am feeling nervous anticipation now and having (another) moment of newfound appreciation for my parents who travelled to India....twice....with 3 kids and one on the way...before the days of email, mobile phones, facebook and blogs.  Beginning to sweat now.....yeah right!

So seriously, whose idea was it? Well hubby agreed we should go, but the idea was mine...
