Family holiday

Tomorrow my sister and my mum will arrive in Mexico City. I am very excited to see them, to teach them what I know and to explore with them. My sister is an experienced traveller, my mother not so. So I can expect some difficulties, stress and squabbles but most of all I expect it to bring us closer.

It's not until I realised they will be here soon that I allowed myself to realise how much I miss my family. We are close, but in a distant way. My sister and I are constantly travelling, and we haven't lived at home since we were both 18, so we are used to being apart. But at the same time we come from a kind and loving family that have always supported us. So it will be great to spend some quality time together in a new and unique environment.

We haven't been on a family holiday, the three of us, since...... I honestly can't remember. We've had weekends away with family, holidays individually or in pairs but never the three of us. So it will be great to experience a new country together.

We will all have a few days in Mexico City together before my sister goes to Cancun and will work her way through the Yucatan Peninsula by bus, while my mum and I will head to Quetznaltengo in Guatemala to volunteer in a school and learn some Spanish. Then we will all meet in Guatemala and head to Costa Rica for a relaxing week in the rainforest and the beach.

A perfect girls trip! I can't wait!
