The Journey down there
Arrived Safely in Looe!We had a safe and uneventful journey down. Took about 5 hours with a stop for lunch near Exeter.
No traffic jams where we were stationary more than a few minutes so smooth journey
We arrived in Looe just about exactly as planned soon after 3 and as soon as the bags were in, 4 girls ran pretty well straight away to the beach to paddle.
We listened to loads of music all the way down - Kayleigh is definately the musical one - she knew all the words!
Driving through Looe is a bit scary as all the pedestrians give you really evil looks for driving there and today was no exception but we made it!

Last minute stuff
Nearly time to go!!!!!!!!!!
Few last minute thoughts....Jen is going to sort out some music downloads for CDs for the car. Txt her if you have any suggestions.
DVDs needed for evenings eating popcorn so bring any you have you think you fancy watching...I have a large collection...so check mine out before we go and take any along you want.
Wear something comfortable for the journey -its about 5 hours door to door....but its Saturday in the peak holiday season so I expect even longer. You can always change after we arrive.
If there is something you really want to pack and are not sure if there will be room...bring it and I will do my best to fit it in!
Have you decided who is having which bedroom???
See you Saturday!

Getting really exciting!
Its getting very exciting now.
Car is hired ( I was never going to fit you lot and all the luggage in a Mini)
I've spoken to the owner just to double check a few details for Saturday .....there IS an iron.....there IS a DVD player and the car parking space is right outside the house.
Looe is a bit weird in that cars rarely get into Looe and there are so few parking spaces and the ones that there are are all owned by someone. People just walk through the streets and look at car drivers as if they were not allowed to be there. Its always a little bit creepy driving through Looe getting odd looks.
That will be us....on Saturday afternoon....driving through Looe...THIS SATURDAY!
