Can I just say that, after relaying it to my friends and family, the ups and downs of last weekend make me sound like I'm having the most ridiculously outrageous time here! I mean, I am, although most of the time it's pretty suburban, but still - I love hanging out with you guys. I've already said that a big part of me wants to stay local next spring so we can stick out the Famous Five (yes, that is our name) for a bit longer, but if I get a job offer in the Caribbean where they're offering to pay for my flights I might just have to ditch y'all and head off to warmer climes.

What is really interesting is the opportunity out there on all of those websites - I don't know how much browsing time you've spent but wow - OK so most families are in the UK/USA (yawn) but seriously, a Nudist family in the south of France? There was one single dad with two little girls who live on a yacht and are sailing from the Caribbean to South America (uhhh yes please) but I don't know how I'd feel about being on a yacht with one other adult when it's a gamble if we'd get on! But you know, some families are offering to pay for flights and that's the big thing for me and the reason I can't afford to leave Europe (for this, or holidays really).

In other news, I really, really want to go to Cuba. And I don't think it's entirely illegal for you guys to go but I did end up on the US website for foreign country information and by God is that one biased article! Seriously, I think they need to look up the meaning of a few words. My grandparents went a few years ago and they loved it, and if you go on tripadvisor.com it actually states that crime is virtually non-existant there! Anyway, that's my rant over for today. I want to go, haha but I'm pretty sure noone there can afford to take on an au pair!

Yvoire?
