America

We are going to America this year.

When I was 16 and my brother and sister were 12 and 14 we went with Mum and Dad.  Well now my kids are going to be 12, 14 and 16 and their Nan and Pop are taking all of us to America.

It's quite hard to comprehend for my kids, we have had a few overseas holidays to Vietnam, Vanuatu and Thailand but USA will be totally differant.

We have plenty of time to plan what we want to see because we aren't going until next Christmas.

Dad wants to spend Christmas in Disneyland and have 5 days in LA then off to Las vegas where my boys will have a huge adventure rockclimbing in the Red Rock Desert by day and we can enjoy the lights at night.  We are looking at doing a flight over the grand canyon from Las vegas and going onto the viewing platform.

For New Year we are planning a few days in Lake Tahoe.  My kids have never seen snow!  We want to have a day skiing and paying in the snow.

Next we are planning San Francisco for 5 days, visit Alcatraz Island and Pier 39.

To break up the trip home we are having 4 days in Hawaii.  This will be so much fun.

It's the trip of a lifetime and I'm so grateful to my Mum and Dad for taking us all.  I'll keep my blog updated with our plans this year.
