Travel
I haven't been travelling in far too long and all these photos from people's holidays are reminding me why I loved it in the first place. I've got a real urge to take off and go camel trekking in Morocco or whitewater rafting in Transylvania or mountain biking in Costa Rica or zip-wiring in Guatemala.

It'd have to be after Seamus's birthday (yes, idiot, I've remembered and I assume you're planning something). Sometime in August? Or maybe September, just after schools have gone back so I can miss peak tourist season. Either way, until I book something I'll be taking suggestions for awesome places to go.

Are there magical adventure holidays? Can I go clabbert watching in the US? Are there Erumpent safaris? Do they offer flying-carpet tours of Dubai or Iran? Why isn't there a magical travel agent on Diagon Alley. Those of you who grew up in the magical world, what's the best holiday you remember taking? (Actually, those with muggle childhoods feel free to answer anyway, you might give me some ideas.)

If we could find something suitable, either of you fancy a little adventure holiday?

I've still got to take you both to Longleat. I assume not-weekends are best?

	I'm not so sure. It was because they hadn't quite finished the cursebreaking. The mummies are probably a bit more docile by now. [Warded to Dominic and Genie] I'm kidding, well, I'm not, but getting up early for once isn't going to kill me. Okay, I'm good with a lot of muggle things by now, but what's a theme park? That's one I've not come across. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even so - pyramids, camels, sunshine, interesting food, and I haven't been before. Sounds pretty good to me. [Warded to Charlie and Genie] Okay, before I launch into an explanation - do you know what a rollercoaster is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, definitely good. Just don't expect rampaging mummies. [Warded to Dominic and Genie] No. Can't even guess. Although my leg is pretty stable, if that's what you're asking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Expect and hope are very different things.

Then we definitely need to take you to a theme park! I'll try to pop into a library and make sure they're okay with prosthetics on the rides. I'd think they would be, but it doesn't hurt to check.

A rollercoaster is like an open-topped car on a track that's built in the air that goes up and down steep hills and around tight corners and sometimes upside down. It's really hard to explain.

Sort of like this:

	[Warded to Dominic and Genie] And a theme park has lots of these rides? I mean, I guess it's sort of giving muggles a taste of what trick flying a broom would be like. I'm up for trying it as long as they're okay with my leg. It's pretty fucking secure and I can make extra sure for the day. (Reply to this) (Parent)
