G'Day everyone from Perth, Australia - the most isolated capital city in the world. We've got beautiful beaches here, it doesn't rain for weeks in summer and it regularly reaches 45ºC. But we don't have much in the way of rollercoasters, it never snows and everything here is kinda "new".
So we can't wait to visit England and France in 2014!
Going on this first big holiday as a family of four are:
ME - 29. Originally from New Zealand, banker by day, blogger and macaron maker by night. I'm the one who collects teaspoons - my Mum collected hundreds on her travels when she was younger so I think we can blame her for my habit. I love macarons and sweet treats and can't wait to visit Laduree in Paris.
DH - 34. True blue Aussie who had never left the state until I met him. Works for a major car dealer, married me 2 years ago and happily lets me plan the holidays so long as he can choose the hire car.
DD - currently 5 and a half. Very independent and ready to explore the world. Loves Rapunzel and Princess Belle, will watch Tangled over and over and... Collects magnets and would love to see Princess Kate in London.
DS - currently 21 months. Loves Mickey Mouse. Very chilled out little man who gets excited by little details on things. Am sure he's going to be some kind of engineer. Also likes dogs, pirates, Peppa Pig and building duplo towers.
When are we going:

The Disneyland part!
I booked 2 nights/2 nights free through the UK website, we are staying in a plaza room at Hotel New York.
This will be the one and only time we go to Disneyland Paris, we hope to return to Paris again, and to go to the US Disney Parks but there are so many other places in the world we want to visit too - SO we need to make the most of this visit!
Thanks for following along, I hope to organise my crazy thoughts here and to borrow some expert knowledge from you all
