We may have the opportunety to visit my brother and family in africa over xmas next year ,we haven't been before for various reasons and db and dsil are very keen for us to go out,the boys would love it and it would be great for them to spend some time with their cousins etc.We can't go in summer times becaiuse that is db's busy work season plus sil is from USA and always goes home for a month.We can't go at easter because that would be too difficult given ds1s exam schedule.
Ds1 will be in year 12 hopefully doing 4 subjects (GCSEs allowing)english,history,philosophy and RE he will have exams in the January,are we being foolish to even consider it?We would probably go the day they break up 17/12 nad back at NYear.Hopefully spend sometime with db at their house but also fit in safari and possibly Vic Fals .It just feels very sad if we can't go becasue of exams for ds but i wouldn't want to spoil things for him.
Realistically how much do you expect them to work over the xmas break?
