09.02.09 - T minus 5 Days
Like every year we are finally getting ready for our holidays. Saturday still feels as if it is years away…. - I guess once I really start packing I will regret it and would wish there were a couple more days available to finish the job.
Again this year we visit Orlando but this time with Roger & Kati (the boys’ grand parents) and Thomas’ sister Gabi. Felix and Max are super excited. They want to show everything they already know to Roger, Kati and Gabi.
Another guest that will accompany us on this trip is Barbara Bear. Barbara Bear is a teddy bear which belongs to the boys’ school. The children are encouraged to take Barbara Bear or Barnaby Bear with them on trips. The reports they write about their trips are part of the Geography lessons. There is a big map before the headmasters office which shows were in the world the bears currently are and where they have been. Usually there are postcards and pictures from the last trips the bears have made. Felix and Max are very excited to be allowed to take Barbara Bear with them and they are already planning what they want to show to Barbara.
Again this year we will stay in Susan & Alans wonderful vacation villa in Calabay Park. Here is a link to their new website: http://www.floridavillas360.com/. We love that house and the boys have already scheduled Air Hockey matches upon our arrival.
Every morning I check the forecasted weather reports for Orlando. For our arrival the temperature is forecast to be around 24 degrees Celsius - just perfect.
