My family and I are going to spent the Christmas time in Spain. We leave on Thursday morning. It’s a long trip from Shanghai to our city. We have to make two stopovers, in London and Madrid. The first fly that we have to take lasts thirteen hours, the other two last less than two hours.
Every time that we go back to Spain we have to prepare and pack a lot of things. Especially if we are going to be there almost one month like this time. Travel with a baby also requires a lot of preparations. You have to make sure that he has enough food, diapers and changes of clothes for the long journey.

Also, once we will arrive in our city, we are going to move into a new house/apartment. My father is living in the house where my brother and I grew up, it is a big house with a big garden in the countryside. It’s a beautiful house but it’s too big for one person so, we are going to move into an apartment in downtown/city center.
