I love to travel but have found that having a family has really restricted me. I know that some people find that taking their baby with them is no hassle at all, but it was not the same for me. Firstly, I had twins which made it rather more to cope with. Also they didn’t sleep well and so I was always tired and the prospect of travelling, doing more walking and sleeping in a strange place did not fill me with joy! Lastly there was the cost of it all. I am looking forward to the time when they are old enough to stay with their grand parents for a week while I have a well deserved holiday somewhere!

What do you need to Travel around the world or go on a long vaction?

The simple answer is you need time and money to do this, the problem most o fus find is that we have no time as were spending our time to make money so that we can go on those holidays. However when we realise that we work to live and not live to work sometimes it can put a new perspective on things.

If the reason we can’t take a long holiday say for a month is due to the fact that we need to work to make money, then what are we going to do with the money that we do earn? most people’s answer to live and have a better quality of live but if your limiting your relaxation time due to wanting to work then it sounds like your going to be working for a never ending cycle!

Relax and live each day as it comes!

I am going on a steam train next weekend. I am too young to have been on them as a child, but I still find them much more fun to travel on than diesel trains. For the children they liken it to Thomas the Tank Engine, but for me it is more like Harry Potter! I just love the clickety clack sound, looking at the engine and the overall joy that both my husband and my children seem to get from going on there. It just gives us all a fantastic relaxing experience and even better, the children travel for free!
