Awww...Cool! I bet they will be really surprised and happy!

I wish I could go home for a visit - it's been three years since I visited and I was hoping this Christmas would be the one, but no can do.

Enjoy your trip Melly!

I gave my mum my key to look after because I would lose it here!! She better still have it somewhere - altho it would be funny if we were just sitting there when they got in from work!!

Yeah I was thinking that, come on share
I hope they are home, and not gone off on holiday.
Luckily I know where the key is hidden and could get in at my Moms. Knowing my luck she'd have gone off to see her sister for a week.

Last time I saw my mum alive was on this kind of trip... something inside of me kept telling me I needed to make a visit. I told only my sister and family friend and made them swear not to tell. My oldest daughter was my parents first grandchild, I had a family friend pick me up at the airport but he literally had to drop up us off and leave. My mother was not the most emotional person in the world, but I walked in the house put my daughter on her lap and walked out to get the luggage, I walk back in and she is holding my daughter crying her eyes out! just seeing that was worth the cost of the flights. One of my happiest memories
