me and my other half are having a great time arranging our holidays so that we can travel abroad to meet family members who were just names on christmas card or people talked about over the years and never met.
first stop was New York where we met an Aunt, an uncle we didn't know existed and and eight cousins. We also discovered a wonderful shop called 'Bed Bath and Beyond..... Had our picture drawn in Central park and enjoyed hours of fun and walking in Manhatta
n. Hubby went right to the top of the Empire state building while I (coward) waited almost two hours for him in the souvenir shop on the second floor.
Next we booked our flights to Jamaica with a three hour transit stop over at Atlanta and made the most of it by arranging to meet a cousin and have lunch with her at the airport before continuing on our merry way to Jamaica to visit my (never met) Grandfather's grave and to meet more family, known and
unknown. It's always a pleasure and so good to be able to put names to faces. Our next trip is getting closer and we will be flying to Miami, Florida, to meet an Uncle never meet, see an Aunt not seen for many years and meet cousins never met before. We are getting quite excited, it's two adventures in one each time, A new country and and fresh new faces I can't wait.
