As a child I do not ever remember having a school trip where
I went abroad for a foreign exchange or a skiing trip etc. I always remember
thinking what a great opportunity it would have been and was dead jealous of
people who did have such experiences growing up. Even if they had of arisen
when I was at school, I very doubt our parents could have afforded it anyway.
The relevance of this is that Joshua has just received a
letter from the school confirming a skiing trip to Vermont in March 2022 at a
cost of over £1,700. It’s a hell of a lot of money and arguable a week away for
the whole family, but he has never been skiing and never been to the US so I
think it is an absolutely fabulous opportunity for him. We spoke to Joshua
about it last night and he was so excited at the opportunity and was all over
it (and you can see why when you look at the Jay Peak website), so time to get
saving. The pictures of the 4* resort looking amazing and there is even an on-site $20 million water park plus climbing wall for their evening entertainment!!!
On the plus side the school have at least given us 2 years
to pay for it, on the negative side I assume I will have the same bill again
next year for Brandon!!!!
