Luxury House To Rent, Casares, Spain

Casares Holiday | Day Sixteen

Posted on | August 21, 2009 | No Comments

Off to Puerto Banus today where I had to go looking with Nelson for a “skimboard” which is like a boogie board but made of plywood, and thinner.  He has decided that he wants to be a skimboarding champion and good for him.

We walked all around the very lovely port, full of fancy cars, fancy boats and even fancier shops!  Cowabunga, glad the girls never spotted these shops!  La Perla, Tod shoes, Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, you name it, every designer on the planet has a shop there!

Really makes you realise that, if you spend your childhood in gorgeous places like this, it has to change your aspirations a bit.

I never went abroad till I was 18, and then it was only Lloret De Mar which was hardly aspirational!

My slightly older friend M, though, went to place like Puerto Banus from the age of 18 onwards and she was always VERY focused on earning well so that she could have as many holidays as possible.  She also loved beautiful things in her house, as a result of seeing loads of upmarket home interior shops, I’m realising now.

So I’m delighted that my kids occasionally say things like “I’m going to have a Pink Hummer one day….” because it leads into a conversation about what kind of careers or businesses might provide those kind of toys.

I’m not bothered about cars really, I only go from home to Tesco’s or the Station in Shoreham, but I sure want more holidays, and holiday homes abroad.

Even if I rent them out most of the time (have to earn their keep don’tcha know!) I want to just get on a plane when I feel like it and be able to find the sun.

I feel so much happier getting up to sunshine and this kind of view and I’m sure I’m not alone.

And with portable broadband and most houses having wireless, it’s getting easier and easier.
