Last time we went to England I promised Eyal that next time we went abroad it wouldn't be England.
Italy is a country Eyal has always wanted to visit. I loved my visits there as a child and with Eyal's love of Italian cars and everyone's appreciation of pasta and pizza Italy seemed a good choice.
But when? I was still looking for work and our financial situation was such that holidays were out of the question.
And then to complicate matters even further it seemed my old school was closing down and someone started to plan a final reunion in the middle of July.
If I was going to keep my promise to Eyal and make it to the reunion I needing to get planning and fast!
First thing I need to find a job. I was lucky to find one quickly and not only was it interesting but also the pay was decent so a summer vacation to foreign climes actually become a financial possibility. Now I just had to sort the logistics.
After much thought, email and consulting with the internet we decided to travel through Italy for a few days on the way to visit my friend. Stay a few days with the friend and then fly to England.
We did consider leaving the children with my parents in England but my daughter was disappointed not to see where I had gone to school and honestly you go to a reunion to show-off your achievements in life and my children are definitely something for me to be proud of.
So that was it – plans made, flights booked, hotel reservations made and cars hired. We are going on a family holiday to Italy!!
