Off on Babymoon


Have you ever heard of a Babymoon?

I certainly hadn't but I'm apparently just about to go on one.

Vanessa and I are due to give birth (it's a shared thing!) in less than three months so it'll be a fair wee while before we'll get any distance again (although clearly I hope to cover just over 26 miles on 13 April).

So we're doing what loads of couples have done for generations and going on one last holiday on our own.

However, given that it is 2008, it has to have a cool name.

Here's how one American company describes what we're supposedly doing on its website:

"One of the most important factors for a healthy birth, mother, baby and family is the relaxation, peace, serenity and health of the mother and partner. The latest trend to complement the prenatal care and health and enjoyment of the mother, partner, unborn baby and the bonding and romance of the couple is the pregnancy honeymoon known as Babymoon."

So there you have it. It's not a cheap and cheerful week in Portugal with the help of Jet2 and Sun4U. It's Babymoon.

We're back in a week and, needless to say, the running shoes and shorts are packed with the sun cream.

I'll try and find an Internet cafe to let you know how serene my hangover is.
