I want to go to Denmark very much. I am trying to get my family to be excited about going somewhere in Europe. I think the only person who ever gets excited like I do, is my daughter. I live with these two guys... who don't really do enthusiasm. Is this a male English thing?
I'm not sure - some of my friends have got enthusiastic husbands, which I can get very jealous of when I'm having a bad day!
But Europe will never be this close for you again, so obviously you must go. With The Boy, my experience is that he is indifferent to negative before we go somewhere, and only willing to admit it was all worth it after the fact.
That is my feeling. I want to embrace this closeness. I also want to go to the Balkans. Oh the plans I make in my head. "Let's go here and there and everywhere."
We have the Peak district in a couple of weeks. (Promise a full report, and I believe one could get to the place we are staying via train from Brighton...) I may drop the kids off with my inlaws, and we will be grown-ups and do London for a few days in the Autumn. I am sort of tempted to do some travel on my own as well.
Mr. Jenner seems to prefer that I create a plan/idea, put it together and then he pays for it and shows up. Which is great. Though he will irritate me on occasion when he suddenly wants to become an expert while traveling and decide that we should do such and such, after I've come up with some plans.
I realize that my husband grew up with a Mom who planned all the holidays. It isn't that he doesn't come up with ideas, he does on occasion but I definitely form the plan.
There is a kind of luxury in showing up and having it all sorted.
