Fantastic JBR Karin ... I am amazed that you manage to do so much with 2 kids in tow - especially a 2 year old!!! Im assuming he's still having day naps (and hopefully not nappy changes!!) Hats off to you for treating your kids to such a wonderful adventure (minus your hubby too! Is he like mine and not too keen on travel???)
Im hoping that they appreciate the wonderful experience they have had, Im guessing the 8yo will, but prob not the 2yo!
