Ten year olds on their own are fabulous - we have one of those as well as a nine year old and a four year old and an almost 18 month old! My husband and I are well and truly outnumbered now.....and our children know it! Our trip to India last year without children was almost like a second honeymoon....sigh.

One day you will have to bite the bullet and embark on a family road trip and here is an ideal destination.....especially if you have family that you can lean on for free babysitting! We are dialing the babysitting agency tomorrow! What kind of artist is your SIL and does she show her work here? Maybe we can lead an expedition (it takes us the best part of an hour to walk into town) to an art gallery during our stay. Hop hope you are enjoying the hols in Hobart!

I&...Most of Tasmania has gone to Fiji for the hols! I'm still dreaming of a villa at the Ayana in Bali complete with kids club AND a nanny. Good news......just discovered they have a babysitting service in Port Fairy so we'll be making use of it. Back in the days when we only had 2 children & found ourselves in Christchurch we dialed a nanny - a charming matriarch appeared who only charged $8 NZ dollars an hour. Bargain. I long for New York......maybe my mum who is at home in Hobart babysitting our beagles might babysit the children next time and we can jet off sans enfants. Here's hoping!

Great read! We have just returned from a holiday to Bali with our 10 year old son. We had a great time but were 100% prepared to do kid friendly activities with him. One day I'll get the one on one holiday with hubs. Enjoy your 'road trip' in Port Fairy; those scenic pictures do look spectacular!<br />KLKLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763689950705543241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597462073845645035.post-67372993700374042562012-06-01T20:32:44.504+10:002012-06-01T20:32:44.504+10:00Oh Romy!

It's a pretty little place, isn't it? Enjoy your time there. And FF is such a gem. I knew you'd be stoked!

Skiing (youngest ones are still a bit young but it has potential due to ski school every day when they are a little older), Queensland resorts (see Fiji. I get tired getting up at 5.30 with overexcited children wanting to go for a swim). After taking our oldest to New York for a month when he was 20 months old I vowed never to travel with children until they are old enough to work and watch their own inflight entertainment system for at least 24 hours, so that rules out Europe and anywhere more than a 6 hour flight away. My husband asked me where we were going this year for a family holiday, and I said nowhere!! Hope your time in Port Fairy improves!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.com
