[Margaret Pilkington]

son, I think you have that spot on.
It is never a good idea to go with the idea of re-creating past times...you have to go with the idea that yes it will be different, but different does not mean worse.....not only the places change, but we are different people to the ones we were twenty years or so ago.
Our experiences colour things, our expectations change.
If you decide to go Taddy, make like you have never been before and then you will surely enjoy it.
Holidays are like life...they are what you make them!
