so here it is!!
have a safe journey Lindsay and most of all have a FAB time!!
So hands up who here needs a holiday?? ....yeah me too!!
I shall leave you with some travel quotes...
If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home. ~James Michener
The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see. ~G.K. Chesterton
Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen. ~Benjamin Disraeli
Disraeli, sounds like my 93 yr old grandmother. Love the blog, would be nice to travel, refreshing, we all need a break, I know I do. Unlike 'Cheers', I want to go where no body knows my name.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. My ma made me two journals. So sweet. Can't wait to start them. I have one from last year's birthday that I am writing in at the moment.

I totally agree with your travel quote "ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home".
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how many home comforts people insist on taking with them nowadays! I do wonder why they bother if they don't even feel like they have left their homes.
Great journal.
Your journal will make Lindsay's trip even more special (isn't it an honour to create such a thing to keep special memories?)
ReplyDeleteoh I want that tutu.. and that car... and her suitcases and a vacation:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful travel journal you've made! If I get all my above wants I know exactly where to come!
