Much to Girl Child’s disgust, when we went on the south Pacific cruise with Nanny and DD, although it wasn’t my first visit to Noumea, it wasn’t Young Sir’s either. Although New Caledonia is based in the South Pacific, it is still very French, making it feel very exotic when visiting.

Young Sir was just three-months-old when Hubby began working for Bechtel, with his first project with them based in Noumea, New Caledonia. So when Young Sir was just eighteen months old, and I was pregnant with Girl Child, we spent a week in Noumea with Hubby.

All this “fun in the sun” Young Sir found exhausting!

All the chocolate croissants didn’t hurt either!!!
