My mother has to be the luckiest person I know, almost every year she gets to accompany my dad to a convention for his work and while he sits in meetings all day, my mom and the other wives/partners get chauffeured around to all the local tourist attractions and treated like royalty with 5-star meals and private guided tours at some of the worlds most amazing places. She's been to Vienna, Hawaii, India, San Diego, Vancouver and in March will be headed to Dubai!
To make us feel a bit more included into this life of luxury she leads, my parents are travelling home from Dubai via Italy (as you do) and Rob and I will be spending the week with them in Sorrento. It will be so nice to get away and to see my folks again. Unfortunately it won't be as warm as it would if we went later in the year, but a week off of work in a country with AMAZING food, is never anything to turn your nose up at!
That week in March will officially kick off the Scott-Clark year of travel 2012, or at least that what I'm calling it.
In July I will be headed back to Cleveland, where I grew up, for the first time in over seven years to attend a friends wedding. I've got mixed feelings about going back... I can't wait to see people but it's a long way to go to see Cleveland, not my favourite city. Though there is one thing that Cleveland can guarantee in July that London can't... SUN! It might be the only warmth and sunshine I see all year!
Once I return from Cleveland I have a few days to relax and watch some Olympics, including the 4x100 Mens Relay LIVE at the Olympic Arena! Then we're off to the Isle of Skye in Scotland for a week of relaxing with friends. We went last year and the scenery was stunning, the company was fantastic, the food was delicious and even the weather was great! I can't wait to go again.
Then, about two weeks later we're off over the the Atlantic again to go to a friend's wedding in New York City. Rob and I are going to turn this into a proper Northeast Holiday, renting a car and driving to all the places Rob's never been before, Boston, Philadelphia, Delaware, and maybe even up to Maine. We'll spend several days in NY for the wedding itself were both Rob and myself are going to be groomsmen!!! I'm thinking about buying a very cute 'fem-tux' for the event!
By the end of September we will be well and truly tired so we'll rest up in October and November, all ready to go on a skiing adventure with both our families in Europe for Christmas! Details on this are yet to be confirmed but even if others don't come Rob and I are going to go somewhere for sure!
I think with all the excitement of 2012, 2013 will have to be the Scott-Clark year of debt reduction!
