Spain

We had a lovely holiday in Spain, the weather was mostly hot and sunny but we had a few days of showers and cooler weather. June is a temperamental month in Spain it seems. I have been to Benidorm once before but I really loved this visit more than the previous one!

We went out on a few days trips to 5 or 6 different Spanish villages and the Benidolieg caves. The caves were a great day out for me and they aren't a common tourist location so I was super excited. We went to a pretty town called Dénia which is one of the towns were bulls run through the towns and are chased into the sea. The trips were great fun and we saw some really beautiful towns.



Hotel was also great good food, good choice, great entertainment!

We went with my mom and dad but Eero enjoyed every minute of the trip. Worked out well as a holiday and my parents got to know Eero even more. I don't think they could love him anymore but mom keeps trying!!!

Anyway to cut a long story short we had a great holiday, nice relax, good trips and I wasn't ill so we had a very active holiday!

The departure was a nightmare air strikes in France gave us 2.5hour delay as soon as we hit the airport, follower but another 3.5hour delay as a storm made our plane land in Valencia airport and not in Alicante. It was a long annoying day as no travel reps could be found to complain too. Alas we got home eventually ate and went to bed.

Week of sorting, cleaning and packing

I say now that I love going away also that I love to go back home but I hate packing. Not only do I have to fit all the clothes, straighteners, make up, more clothes, gifts (which are all edible this time)but I have to take things to eat and drink for the Spain holiday... annoying but it saves me being so ill and itching the whole time. Good job E packs light!

This week has been quite productive really, I even had time to go and open a bank account (bank chosen by the sexy husband). My "things to do" list is shorter than ever! He still wants me to remember my ID number but I can't remember my phone number... though I kind of know both today.

We are both really excited about both of our holidays and I know I won't sleep tonight but E would sleep on a bed on nails on a ship in a storm... Mom's excited too, every few hours a call, today she emphasized that dad would pick us up TOMORROW... like I was going to forget. The one thing apart from seeing my family I love about going home is eating the naughty things that I can't get here in Finland... if I want pizza here we make it, I can't go to Sainsbury's and buy one.

I dislike the week before though as I am a nightmare to live with then, homesickness strikes and I get irritable. E doesn't seem to be bothered by this which is good, he let's it fly cause he knows its just a phase.

Can't wait to see my pets... mom said the tortoises have been egg laying again, shame we have no male to sort it out for some babies...

I can't wait to see the cats either, Especially my little Ebby and Maisy =)(or not so little if moms been feeding them).
