Tehya’s first experience of Thailand

The Dusit Thani is truly beautiful. The room is a little worn around the edges, but only a little! The hotel staff are kind and eager to be of assistance. They are very sweet with Tehya who is loving the attention and the friendly atmosphere. The hotel is huge with 6 restaurants, bars, gym and [...]

The Journey to Bangkok

Becca woke us up on Friday morning at 8.00am with a cheerful smile and a cup of tea, angel girl that she is. She had also printed off the final documents that we needed but had not had time to print. The last 24 hours were so stressful, with a combination of packing up the [...]

Thursday the 20th March – My last day as a Connexions PA!!!

I am so exhausted and really ready to finish work. Giving my notice in at Christmas has meant that this must have been the longest goodbye of all time. The first month dragged very slowly and although I was excited and looking forward to our leaving date, there were times when I felt a little [...]

Tehya was very excited when she got up for school, she knew it was her last day and she was keen to spend it with Eva her best friend. She had also asked for a hot school dinner for her last day (usually has a packed lunch!). So all in all it was a promise [...]

At last the time is nearly upon you to leave these hideous shores and head off toward the rising sun, well done at creating your goals and making them come true, its a hard thing to do as individuals let alone with a youngster in toe.
It pains all your families that you’ll be gone for [...]

A tattoo for Tehya

I have wanted to get a tattoo to celebrate Tehya’s birth for a long time. We went to Newquay last Friday and I popped into DNA formally Atlantic Coast Tattoo Studio. Unfortunately the earliest booking they had was in May a good while after we have left the UK. When I explained the situation they [...]

We Have Booked Our Luxury 5 Star Hotel For Three Nights

Having never stayed in a 5 Star Hotel I feel we may be a little out of our depth on the correct etiquette techniques towards our fellow 5 star hotelians. I’m sure we will start to blend in nicely once we’ve had a few sam song whiskies though!!! The site we finally booked our hotel [...]

one week at work and two weeks until we go!

So here we are waiting for the off. We went online last night and paid for our travel insurance, I had started to worry that we might not get the documents through on time if we left it any later. Tehya’s insurance cost almost as much as ours which seems crazy. It feels odd to [...]

Made a decision about our first place to visit (possibly?)

We’ve dreamed of our relaxed stay at the Perhentian islands in Malaysia at a place called DeLagoon back in 2001. What we like are places that are chilled, quite and not completely over run by tourist, the same as most people I suppose? But instead we have decided to visit a part of Thailand [...]
