parts of the world. Yeah, it's a strange time for us because it seems like we're just dealing with, you know, emergency situations when we travel and this year, though, when we went to Florida, Thomas was excited about it. We could show him pictures and we could talk about it in terms of what we were going to do and he got excited about that. Yeah. And he talks about it now. He's developing those memories and we took some great photos while we were there too. Yeah, so, yeah. And I think, as the children get older, we're going to have great times and we can do very specific things, and they'll get those memories - they will have those memories. Yes. Where did you travel when you were a little? Do you have memories of traveling? We went to France a lot and we went to Spain a lot and and well, you know, my memories when I was young - you always make fun of me because I talk about my memories all the time. Yeah, by the way, Jack has an incredible memory - you well kind of well. When was your earliest memory from? how old were you? I don't really know to be honest... no, there was that memory where I remember being in my mom's arms when I was six months old or I had to be six months old because they were in their old house. I remember seeing our neighbor and my mom was talking to the neighbor. Yeah. And I remember... I remember that little ,you know, snippet - that tiny bit of memory but it's not that clear. I know, but six months old, that's incredible. I think that'll mean that Emma will start to remember life, potentially, in just a couple of months because she's almost four-months-old. Yeah, she is. Emma, are you gonna remember this? Today? She might remember this. Or at least, she'll have the video to look back on. We always went to France; we went to Spain a lot and when I think I was about 11 or 12 when, maybe younger, when we got a caravan. So. it used to take us three days to get to the south of France and we would spend about two weeks there. We went to place called Canet Plage, which is near Toulouse and we went there every summer for about five years, I think. And we've met the same people, it is really cool because as a kid you want to be around other kids and there were a bunch of a children there who we could play with. They had a great pool; they had sports going on. The beach was really close by. My sister liked it because she was getting to the age where she could go out and it was that kind of place but, you know, it was safe - it was great. We really enjoyed it. How was it traveling with your family, especially as you got to be older in such a small vehicle and sleeping in it. I remember one trip especially when ... there was a big heat wave in France and we we just poured water over our heads because we didn't have air conditioning in the car - super hot and the other thing France at that time and I don't know if that's changed - but they didn't have proper toilets. They had like holes in the floor. I bet that that has changed. I imagine it has. You know, that's what I remember about it. And then one year, we went down with another family. And a friend - one of my sister's friends came as well and I went in the car with the other family they had a conditioning. And it was such a big difference. Yeah, I can imagine that's something that we take for granted, I think. Yeah, no one in the UK had air conditioning in a car it was very very rare. Wow. It must be... because it doesn't get that hot. So, people don't feel like they need it. Yeah. Okay, we're back and I just asked a question about.. what you did for vacation. Where did you go when you were when you were a kid? When I was a kid we actually took a family beach vacation every summer. My family and family friends would rent a house on an island called Block Island which is an island the coast of Rhode Island and New England and we would drive and take a ferry to the island and we just had a great time. We would go to the beach every day; we would grill seafood at night. Yeah, it was a really special memory for me. And was not like every summer? Yeah, it was every summer for probably five or ten years. Oh, really? Yeah, my mom actually grew up going there when she was a kid too, so she had memories of the place and all the different areas to go and it was just a really neat... (thing to to do) When was the first time you went abroad? Do you remember? The first time that I went abroad, I was probably about 10 years old. My dad decided to start working for an airline because he really wanted to show us the world and so he was working for a British airline and he got a free ticket - all right, that's fantastic - every year So, he took he took my sister and I both on a trip to England. Did you go to Scotland too? We did. Was that the same trip? I think so. Well, no. That was a different trip. That was a trip that we took all as a family together, but my father actually passed away when I was in collage, so the fact that we had that trip together just meant so much. It was just a special special thing to have done with him. Great, and do you remember the journey? I do. What was that... because going to the UK or anywhere in Europe you're doing the overnight flight. from America. That is challenging. uh-huh Do you remember that? I think, I mean, I'm sure that I was tired but I think it was just the most exciting thing that had ever happened to me and just the novelty of everything - being able to look out an airplane window; eating pretzels - a little packet of pretzels like it was just all magical It was so much fun. I remember the first time I came to America because my uncle, you know my uncle used to work in America? And he got us on a flight and it was economy class but we went to the check out and then went - they just said our last name, Askew? Askew? We'll see what we can do because my uncle used to fly back and forth to the UK and back to America all the time, so they - my sister didn't come on that trip - I think was 14. No, this is second time. no no - sorry, I'm getting confused - we came when i was ten and and that's when - we did - we got bumped up to first class yeah - and it was just amazing. I remember it very clearly. I think because my dad works for the airline too, we get bumped up - not all the way up to first class but to premium economy. We were in business class and it was an experience. Yeah. Have you seen some of those recent pictures of the new like business class on these luxury jets? No, but.... they have like, you know. spas and showers and a circular bar - there's a lot going on with them now, obviously, very very expensive, but and I think if you get - some people I've have seen on Facebook get on these flights or at least, you know, getting the first preview... some YouTubers, and it just looks incredible. That sounds great. that would make flying with my children worth it. Yeah, no, definitely. It's hard, isn't it, with small children. Yeah - the flying - it can be you. It can be hard - you just never know what you're gonna get, ever day is different. No, but you know, it's good. We feel very grateful to be able to do it, you know. to go on these vacations. So, you mentioned Morocco before as an ideal place to go on vacation - where is your ideal.. I was gonna... tell me about it. I was thinking about this, you know, while we've been having this discussion but i think probably... Australia. I think it would be Australia or Japan. I think somewhere in Asia maybe - the the problem is when I start to think about these like ideal vacations then I think about the practical side of things - with children, you know, because it is completely different. When I went travelling I was on my own I had a tiny backpack and I went away for nine months and, you know, I could go on a bus for 42 hours. It was fine - kind of - you know, but it's something I could do, but now it's thinking about those things - forgetting about children, is it easier to travel on your own with me? Oh, so much easier on my own. I was worried that you were going to say that. Explain! Well, when you're on your own you... you have your stuff and that's it. If you feel tired and down, you know, or if you're like, you just don't talk to someone, you can just do that and. If you wanna be... if you wanna be outgoing, then you can, you know, just just meet other people and then you just make your own decisions but, yeah, it's more fun traveling with someone. It is. That's the other thing. 'Cause you get to share your experiences and just talk to somebody about what's going on. Yeah, definitely. Well, cool. Well, shall we wrap it up? Yeah, let's wrap it up Okay, bye everyone! Bye! Road Podcast don’t stop learning even when you are on the road to join us, click on the link . Download 486.92 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
