Making this trip to Thailand ,or even to the local beach for that matter, takes a lot of planning with 3 kids (10, 9, 6). We work hard to be a team and support each other , sometimes it takes a lot of shouting and redirection , but we generally get to where we need to be on time and pop a smile on our faces.
We are the Morgans.
Justin is the head of the family and the one that truly is making this happen. He will commute back and forth to California to fulfill his work obligations and keep our income flowing. He enjoys flying and will enjoy sipping a gin and tonic , racking up air miles with no other distractions ( the kids).
Arlene is the planner, organiser and general caretaker , as well as the main home school teacher . She does not enjoy flying and so is happy to stay put , although will miss Mr Morgan immensely.
Alexander is the oldest of the bunch and very excited to be taking a year “off school” . Reality is going to be a kick to the head for this one when school starts at 8 daily in the classroom downstairs . He loves science and reading so he will revel in scouring the beaches and ocean for life forms . We won’t have TV , so reading it is!
Andrew is next in line and he is our sporty kid . He will be in the pool at every chance and will be found climbing the mango tree in the front yard , that is, until he comes face to face with the big green snake that lives up there!
Emmalynn is our little one and is head in the clouds happy. She will enjoy the puppy we are going to get on arrival ( and leave with the grandparents when our trip is over) and exploring the different bugs in the yard.
Cesare is our eldest lad, but he’s an adult looking for a high paying job to pay off his school loans , and so will stay home at Morgan Acres.
We hope that our antics will amuse and inform you.
