Our bags are packed and we are backseat driving off on our holidays...

we´ll be MIA for about three weeks as we intrepidly cross the snowy Pyrenees, drive all the way up France and then England all the way to our Nana´s in Scotland - and back again.

Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy New Year to all our pals, we´ll have a wee dram and dance a Gay Gordon for you all at Hogmanay (translation: we´ll drink to your health and dance a Scots dance for you at New Year). After 10 years marrigae, Mum still hasn´t managed to get Dad into a kilt for the occasion, maybe this will be the year...Dad is tall and Mum´s Uncles are small, their kilts are indecently short for Dad to wear.

See you all again in January,
hasta la vista

Have a safe trip!!! We hope you have a great time with your family.

WOW! When you guys travel, you travel! Drive safe and have fun. Good luck getting Miguel in a kilt!!! Ron has worn one to Rennaisance Faires. I still can't believe he did it, but he did!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. I guess this means you're missing the Three Kings Day in Spain? As I recall, it's celebrated more than Christmas over there. Is it called El Dia de Los Reyes Magos?

The kilt will be difficult...we´d love to see Ron in his!

We´ll be leaving the UK around the 14th Jan so will miss the Reyes Magos and will spend Miguel´s 56th birthday on the 9th January in the UK too, for a change. It´s such a long trip, we thought we´d make it worth going.

Love to you all.

Maybe Father Christmas could bring him a Utili-Kilt. It has pockets and is a wash and wear heavy twill.

We have never heard of that one, sounds a great idea!

Finally made it here - too late for Christmas - terrible ice and snow and fog on the way...love to you and Cliffie. We´re keeping warm with shortbread and Whisky.....
