She works in Temple Street and knows people from there who know nowhere outside of the city, in fact she knows more places in Dublin than most of them, too. If you don't leave a place then you have no need to know about anywhere outside it.Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345822230344288078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-21365277859530305542010-03-29T17:21:44.283+01:002010-03-29T17:21:44.283+01:00Good luck with your journey.

However, getting away and visiting places makes for great memories for the children - so that's what I try to focus on :)<br />Lucky you - having fabrics waiting on the other side - that was a great idea!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127185070635020299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-18707690165270982632010-03-25T22:25:00.858+00:002010-03-25T22:25:00.858+00:00Thanks Nina for saying such kind things, I am all ...Thanks Nina for saying such kind things, I am all ready to go now, with the alarm clocks set for 5am.

I will be fine...I hope!...I'm sure my Mr will be fine too, even in a quiet house.<br />I have travelled lots when I was younger, but it's just different now....<br />Like you, I'd love to be able to do this on my own, that way it frees up the time we can spend on family holidays. We want to go so many places..it's just that time is limited when you're self-employed. <br />I'm sure we will have lots of fun on this adventure..Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345822230344288078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-24151898390627572902010-03-25T18:34:57.553+00:002010-03-25T18:34:57.553+00:00Dear Millie,

In January I flew to my best friend to Cologne, with the kids and without my Mr. I was so excited and anxious, about the flight (just 1 hour though), the kids sleep and all but it went so well. I missed my Mr. and he missed us (he thought he could sleep till midday, have a nap in the afternoon and watch all eposides of Lord of the Rings. But without us he couldn't sleep long, couldn't take a nap "it was too silent" and so he could just relax in front of the TV... so all the things he sometimes misses he cant do either if we are here nor when we are away...).<br /><br />We have been visting my friend and her Mr. and the three sons again when my Mr. was in NY, because that would have been horrible for me with him being so so far away. So now I'm a big traveller, maybe you'll become as well??<br /><br />Have fun!Nöhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740244869208231798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-40015978316461091072010-03-24T16:16:01.700+00:002010-03-24T16:16:01.700+00:00A Thrifty Mrs..I was reared in North Kildare and m...A Thrifty Mrs..I was reared in North Kildare and moved to Offaly when I married.

I will be fine, we will be fine. We just get so used to being together as a family, because it's easier, but easier's not always better. I think the tops will be good on the girls, I haven't tried them on yet! They either won't want them on or they will want to wear them straight away, there's no half measures!Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345822230344288078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155243672133235939.post-15758918486668718942010-03-23T14:00:24.721+00:002010-03-23T14:00:24.721+00:00I'm sorry you have to travel without your husb...I'm sorry you have to travel without your husband.
