I still haven’t entirely got my head around going to Jamaica to see my Gramps in a few weeks.
Sorry, did I say “a few weeks”?
I meant “OMG 12 DAYS WTF I AM NOT READY GAHHHHHHHHHHH”.
So yeah, totally prepared.
I’m still immensely piss that the boys and D aren’t going. I hate that they’re not going, hate it. Weirdly I suspect I’ll feel rather lonely, despite the fact that the majority of my immediate family will be there. I’m taking as much technology as I can (more technology than clothes, I suspect) in the hope that I can Skype the boys and introduce them to their Great Grandfather. Much as I’ll be “sunning myself in Jamaica”, I suspect I’ll be wishing I was with my own family.
Needless to say, I’ll be taking my camera(s). I plan on photographing the crap out of everything. As we’ll be on the beach, it kind of makes sense to make sure I have appropriate equipment, right? So after much consideration, indecisiveness and deliberation, I decided to buy this.
It does this.
And has this.
I try not to go too much into camera porn, but I’d agonised over this for ages. I’ve been saving my pennies for this trip to Jamaica, and I plan on making the most of it so that I can show the boys when I come home. Isaac won’t have a clue, but I know Noah will ask a lot of questions.
In fact, I suspect Noah will have a shit load of questions; added to that, he’s just discovered David Attenborough’s Hidden Planet and is loving underwater stuff at the mo. Added to that, Isaac naturally has a love of Finding Nemo, so obviously I can incorporate an underwater theme of some sort into their lives.
I’ll be taking a zillion photos. For me, it will be nothing like the real thing. But hopefully for them, it’ll be the absolute best thing I can provide them.

We have recorded all of the David Attenborough series on the Eden channel. The kids are loving them!
I can't wait to see your photos of Jamaica. Yes it is sad that the boys and D can't be there with you, but you are doing the next best thing. Enjoy it and make the most of it.
Loving the new camera by the way. The words waterproof and shockproof are shouting out at me. Not that I'm clumsy or anything *cough*
