We have taken 2 x 12 week trips with 4 kids and loved every moment and would go tomorrow if I could on another one. I believe it strengthened our already close bonds - we talked, laughed, and created immmeasurable memories together.

We still play the card game phase 10 - a game we started on the trip.

It opened the kids eyes to a whole new way of learning. As we are from the west (thats western australia) the differences in climate, distances between places, and the landscape plus the people we met along the way was amazing.

I am sure in spite of the stresses getting organized and the things you might miss it will be more than worth it

Well, I was the first to comment and fall for your silly joke. I love fun pranks. I am so glad that you are actually going to still get to plan to go. Hope all the paperwork goes well this time. Have a great day!

I’ve hated April Fools jokes ever since I fooled my brother with a parcel made up to look like it had arrived in the mail. He was so very excited to be receiving a parcel, happily tearing off the paper, wondering out loud what the treasure inside would be. It truly broke my heart to see his face crumple into tears when the box revealed nothing but a note saying April Fool. I’ve never played another A.F. joke. He was only 12 then and I remember it like it was yesterday, although more than 40 years have passed.

Mistress B - I only scheduled it to publish then supposedly unscheduled it so it theoretically should never have published. Oh well.

Dina - no you weren’t. I’ve held the comments in moderation because it wasn’t really my desire to humiliate anyone. There were 4 comments before I realised what had happened and updated the post. Not too many comments since - not sure if everyone has stormed off in a huff or what!

Everything that you publish goes into the reader whether you later change or unpublish is or not.
