New York, Antilles, Orlando

 

I will travel a lot of miles these first months of 2010…. In February we spent a long weekend (well 5 days) in New York because we found tickets for such a good rate… When I had just booked it I was asked to come to the Antilles again for my job to promote our training there so 3 weeks after NYC I crossed the ocean again to Curacao and later that week also to St. Martin where I spent 3 days. It was a great trip… a lot of work but also a lot of fun, my friend Petrina came over from Aruba for the weekend and I had a TourGuide Mike mini meeting with Thadine… my friend from Curacao. We had dinner together and spend the evening talking about Disney and lots of other things! Friday night I joined my co worker for the grand opening of Hotel Scharloo, a great momument that has been turned into a beautiful boutique hotel!

Dutch supermarket Albert Heijn, even on Curacao!

Home again!!

Sunday morning the plane got back into Schiphol 45 mins early, but the boys were already there waiting for me!

So last week it was back to ‘normal’….school/office etc…. Luckily we have more good stuff to look forward to, the weekend will be Easter weekend so we will go egg-hunting and visit some relatives. Milan is booked with parties these days because all his friends are turning 6 (or 7) in these months. And then there is of course the countdown to Disney! Tomorrow it will be exactly one more month until we leave for Florida, this time with grandparents! I had a bit of a shock when I was on Curacao because I got an e-mail that we could no longer use the villa we had rented (10 months before)…. I sent out some quotes, had some really nice offers from Florida Forum visitors but in the end I got a really great offer from England so we will be staying here :

I was so thrilled with this offer… that I booked the Wishes Dessert Party (Dessert while watching fireworks at Magic Kingdom) to celebrate!

That’s all for now, have a great day!!
