Ever since I was a child I wanted to go to Disney Land. I used to see the adverts on television, I was in love with the characters in all of the cartoons, and I was just desperate to go. I think at the time it was inconceivable for my parents to be able to afford it, and eventually I came to understand that it just wasn’t possible. The problem with this is that it left a bit of a hangover in my mind about going on holiday to America. I always had it that it would be just too expensive, but in actual fact, the cost of travelling to the states now is relatively cheap in comparison to some of the more farther flung places on the globe.
I decided when I was thirty years old that I was going to make a long time dream a reality. I was going to go to Disney Land! I went online that day and found some cheap flights to America and I booked them there and then. I was determined not to let this thing go, and I knew that the only way I would do it was by purchasing the plain tickets with my credit card – and that way I would have to follow up with everything else!
I did eventually get my tickets to Disney Land and I have to say that despite my age I had one of the best hollidays I have ever had! I also feel as if I have in some way exorsized a ghost for myself in that I have finally gone to the place that I never thought I would get to.
