Interlude
It’s seems to make sense to introduce my little holiday party to you as you’re going to hear so much about them over the next few posts, and it might be nice if you knew who the hell I was talking about. So here goes….
Kieran Morris: Co-Driver and Full Time Photographer. Have known him since secondary school, we’ve been and seen it, done it all together and some. His wife wants to kill us every time we say “do you remember that time when……” If you ever needed to know where he was on holiday, you’d just turn and look fifty yards back……where he’d be lying down taking a picture.
Paula Morris: Kieran’s wife. Mum and carrier of the bottomless bag of cures, pills and potions. Already a fabulous mahogany colour before we even got on the plane, no one wanted to have to stand next to her in a picture.
Caitlin Morris: My beautiful 13 year goddaughter. She’s a 13 year old girl; work the rest out for yourself…..
Conor Morris. Small boy aged 9. Has hair like Leo Sayer and a cheeky grin that gets him out of almost all of trouble. Seems interested mainly in DS, winding his sister up and insects. I’m pretty certain if he could grow gills we’d never see him on land again. Earned the nickname Shark Bait due to his pre-holiday concern that’d he’d be eaten by a Great White Shark if he went swimming in the sea, a concern we shamefully did little to allay. You may be hearing quite a bit about him over the weeks…….
Lisa Robertson. My missus, Planer, Tour Rep and fixer. Roundly mocked by us all when she released V1.0 of our Holiday Itinerary six months ahead of departure, but without whom we wouldn’t have even got as far as the airport. And grudgingly, she was right about the now legendary itinerary……
Me. Co-Driver. I just went along for a laugh…..
