Empty house !!

[Bigmincey]

Dropped our 21 year old daughter off today at Glasgow Airport as she flies out to A wee town called Xuzhou, in-between Beijing and Shanghai, China.
Three days to get climatised then she starts work at Aston 2, teaching English as a foreign language to kids up to the age of 13.

Only daughter, and the house feels quieter already ! :o

She aint away 12 hours, and my wife and I are talking about her return
in October !

I'm sure with modern technology email/phone/webcams etc.. it'l seem like she's just round the corner in a few weeks :)

Quite a life experience tho, she'll get a lot out of that, wonderful country apparently!

I have three kids somewheres, (34, 30, & 27) all professional people. Couldn't wait to see the back of them, got really fed up being an ATM/Taxi driver etc. Once they were gone, I left too!! :D

Apparently, I have a grandaughter too!! :confused:

Bigmincey's got an "EMPTY"! :cool:

I'll get the MadDog, who's gonna bring the Buckie?

Seriously though, I'd image it'll be strange not having your daughter around, I think it may even harder for your other half as women have bonds beyond anything guys experience, especially mothers & daughters.

The paternal thing was really lost on me, once I saw them all through uni and subsequently earning good money, I returned to the things I held dear to me and enoyed them. :cool:

Unfortunately, my wife still preferred to be regarded as, and called 'mother', even by me for some reason, even though the kids were gone whereas I still saw her as the woman I married all those years ago. :(

Women do have a strong bond with their children that does not waver as they grow up, but mine was the exception, in that she wanted to remain 'mother' and not what I saw in her before. The result was divorce, but having said that, I have seen many marriages falter in latter years primarily due to the fact that husbands lose sight of the woman they married. :(

I know you miss your daughter badly Alan, but now you have more time to indulge the No.1 woman in your life... :worship: She'll be hurting too, so nows the time to spring that surprise holiday... ;)

Never been there before myself, but always had a fancy for it !

The cars, culture, the nightlife is supposed to be everything that you could be looking for, whether its clubs, or music/jam clubs etc Live music is always a bit better.

Was looking at this place;

Flying from Manchester is a pain, but, hey, why not !!:)

I don't suppose you will have heard of www.travelmood.com but I would go a fair way to recommend them.

I used them for flights direct from Glasgow to Aukland N.Z 2 years ago. I see they list Santa Clara Cuba as a flight destination and 9 night deal for £552 although this may be from London.


Worth a click.:D

Cheers Ken,

I think there is a flight from Glasgow, but its to the North of Cuba, not the Varadero side. Good website mate, will keep a note of that !!
Cheers,
