When we were reminiscing about all the trips and holidays that we had together when we were younger, in particular our national lampoons style trips to LA stand out. Steve having to go to Disneyland with us in his tennis whites and socks that had been turned pink in the wash along with all our clothes too! We were the Pink Gang for our trip to DisneyLand, the culprit a red Fido Dido Tshirt from a market in Dubai!
We laughed about that for years after.
Also the video camera was fairly new at that time I remember Steve and Eileen leaving it on accidentally and filming everything haha until the battery ran out. We discovered free pitcher refills at Pizza Hut that year but didn’t put the lid on the pitchers properly and were left swimming in Coca Cola in our hired cars.
In later years we holidayed in Cyprus in Paphos and stayed at Steve’s flat that he had bought many years before. We remember Steve and Eileen taking us to lots of amazing places and introducing us to the meze (a meal with a million courses that never ends!). Steve took us to some fabulous places and I will go back to this later.
Firstly, I remember a trip with my mum and Steve in the leading car and Eileen and dad in my car. We were following Steve to go to a restaurant or maybe see a sight and Steve believed he knew where it was but as the road got rockier and the boulders got bigger and bigger we decided that we better look at a map! I just remember Eileen shouting “Steve, Steve..aw you can’t be serious Steve”. Although because we were in different cars her shouts went unheard we went and went until we couldn’t drive anymore! We were children and I remember finding it hysterical.
Lastly I remember a trip to Cyprus when we were just with Steve (I don’t know why? We must’ve been waiting for Eileen and Ceriah and Kellen to come out). Steve had had trouble getting out of Dubai because of a minor road accident and his passport had been taken away temporarily. He was really happy to be on holiday and we went every day to a very secluded rocky cove that had a fishing shack on it. We snorkelled and bought watermelons from the ladies working in the fields nearby. It was like paradise. Steve was always laid back on holiday and we had many fun family trips together and made lots of memories. He loved reading and would often lie on the couch or on the beach on holiday and read books. We laughed and listened to old Billy Connolly sketches that Steve had as records in the flat. He was a great adult in our lives when we were younger and an unconditional friend to my parents and us as a family throughout our lives as we got older. ❤️ Megan+Claire Xxxx
