Gosh, I miss the States ...

Was chatting with a friend on the phone last nite .. she was in the States too at around the same time we were ... good times those were ... sigh.

I miss Texas (yes, the whole state - especially San Antonio) and even New Mexico (Land of Enchantment) which was where we were based ... in an air force base there ...

Claudia misses it too .. she attended kindergarten there ... she misses the weather and our nice big yard ... we bought her a huge swing set with a slide too ...

I miss the weather .... and the travel opportunities ... we drove everywhere ... in our big, 3.3 litre Dodge Grand Caravan ... the scenery was awesome wherever we drove to - even on the way to California ... which though was flat and the scenery sucked somewhat ... it was still better than here ...

I miss Seaworld ... and the really nice zoos we visited while we were there .. in New Orleans and San Diego ...

And of course, Disneyland and Disneyworld .. which we visited a couple of times ... and the Grand Canyon ... and Colorado Springs which we also visited a couple of times ..

I had a dream about the resort we stayed at in DisneyWorld the last trip we went on just after Lauren was born .. and just before we came back to damn Singapore ...

At that point we had just been to New Orleans the year before .. and I kinda liked the place so I booked us in Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter ... the rates for that resort which was categorized as "moderate" was very affordable ... gosh, it was a nice resort ... DisneyWorld is a great place to visit ... everyone should go at least ONCE in their life.



We're planning to visit DisneyWorld for our next holiday ... guess now we have to wait till Baby Number 4 is slightly older and more mobile before we can plan anything ... gosh, I can't imagine lugging FOUR kids all the way there ... lol :)
