Stuff We Like #45 - HOLIDAYS

Hi Everyone,

Toni here for another episode of Stuff We Like. This week I'm here to talk about holidays. I'm currently in the countdown for my next trip to the U.S. 8 Sleeps and counting. *Squee*​

This will be my third trip back to the US in four years. This time though I figured I should probably do the good mummy thing and bring the child along with me. hehe.

My well travelled child will now be able to cross off the United States o​n her list of places she wants to visit.

​The visa's have been secured, all the internal flights and accommodation have been paid for (my poor credit card) and the stash of Redskins and Tim Tams have been purchased ready for my trip to Chicago and my visit with Freddy MacKay. (Can't Wait)

This will be the first time my child and I have gone away on holiday together, without other members of my family being there, since my divorce three years ago. To say I'm a little excited is an understatement. ​​​​

One thing I'm not really looking forward to is the flights. Brisbane to LA is a 13hr flight. The return to Sydney is 15 hours.
The problem with being 6'2 and traveling with a child under 15 is they aren't able to sit in exit rows - Which means no extra leg room for me. I'm gonna die!!!​

​I have to say I'm a little excited and nervous about driving in the US, considering you all drive on the WRONG side of the road and the car! Plus, everything is in MPH... Seriously come over to the metric system people. It makes sense, I promise!!! So, if you see reports about an erratic driver cruising down the highway on the wrong side between Orlando FL and Atlanta GA in November, just ignore them, it'll probably be me, the crazy Aussie.

I found out today that Darwin, is about to be hit by a heat wave. I have to say I'm a little happy we're disappearing, even if Chicago decides to snow for me. (I'm not build to handle snow, I'm from the tropics!!)​

A little over a week to go, I can't wait. I know it'll be all over before I know it, but the waiting is killing me!​
