sheesh. traveling is seriously the biggest trend in my family. extended family included. my second aunt is a crazy jet-setter. since she's retired now, she randomly disappears off to canada for 4 months to stay with my 5th aunt, just for fun. hahaha. and she was the one that used to tell me all about her crazy trips all around the world when i was young. she's been to almost every country, with the exception of central middle east. her travel tales are awesome. hahaha. everyone says how similar i am to her :p

my third aunt also runs around the world with her lecturer husband. my 2nd uncle is a supervising officer on SIA, so he's off everywhere all the time. haha. i love him. and of course my parents love to travel. my dad is never at home for more than 4 days in a row -.-

so when my family does go on holiday, we don't do things quite so normally. everyone's a frequent flyer, and so everyone has their quirks with traveling -.- which is pain sometimes. and then my dad and uncle must have their creature comforts when it comes to traveling. good flight, good hotel and good food. hahaha. then seeing as how everyone has gone almost everywhere, its all about going off the beaten path. we always ALWAYS do road trips. and seeing as how everyone in my family can be incredibly domineering, this always result in some form of argument/fight and someone sulking away in the car after that -rolls eyes- you'd think they were 5 year old kids fighting over candy you know.

so yes, we're doing an italian villa trip this time. we're plonking ourselves firmly in wine country - chianti. drink ourselves silly and take day trips all over tuscany. at least they can take turns to drive then -.- i wonder if i can get in on e action and drive too :p sucks being the youngest. hahaha.
