Kiddo back in fine form, need to scoot off to gym to watch her bounce around for a bit. Just got a new floor trick that makes me inhale deeply. I’m a worry-wart.
Why is it your trips seem to fly by so fast? Seems like you just left. Is this your first July trip there? I find it surprising so many decide to visit when it’s so hot & humid, but could be due to work/school obligations I suppose.
Hmmph, silly local. You cross ‘da pond. If she’s keeping count each trip should count X10.
I find myself getting annoyed when I’m asked how many times I’ve vacationed in a year. I usually fluff it off saying “not enough”, just to see the look on their face(s). I’d like to respond MYODM but my momma raised me better. Rarely, does the person asking not have an axe of some sort to grind. It’s different when a close friend/intimate family inquires.
I appreciate being fortunate enough to travel to amazing places. However, I do work within a budget and diligently save-up for my play time. It helps to have an indulgent DH

. Many of my family & friends are in hock up to their eyeballs with their ostentatious discretionary spending but still consistently boo-hoo they can’t afford a nice vacation.
Glad little one is doing better........yes, how can such a little tummy produce so much when they’re ill!!! I hear you on watching with heart in mouth!! When Kyle did karate I couldn’t watch some of the stuff he was doing........he got to Black belt and then his back problem started.........so had to give it up.
That was the year we went in July Janet........2012 as Kyle was having back surgery in the August before starting University in the September........very stressful time to watch our 18 year old boy having such major surgery.........but all worked out in the end!
So, yes that’s the reason we went in July that year.
It does go past quickly, but this time although it was only a week in Orlando, which isn’t enough anyway......it felt longer as we didn’t have the almost 20 hours being awake to get there.........coming in from NY was fabulous.......but wouldn’t go back in July again I think. We are used to less folks........although it wasn’t as bad as we thought and the heat was fabulous!!
Yes, I recognise fake when I see it.........and this woman was fake all over as soon as she spoke........I thought long and hard about mentioning it but after thinking about it, Tom finally convinced me it was indeed jealousy.......and yes, an hour or two away is very different to the cost and time it takes us to get there.........I fail badly to understand jealousy and folks who feel they have to compete or belittle others for travel choices.........
I’m with you. Travel as much as we like and stuff the opinions of others..........yes, friends are different........but when someone asks personal questions when you’ve never even met them before???? Wow!!!
I curtailed my tongue to some extent..........
Yep, would never question someone about money or costs........very crass.
Oh I know folks who get into “hock” too for trips..........silly. Love your response the naysayers though.......lol.......and yes, we do both have amazing husbands who indulge us well!!! Carry on traveling Janet......
Off soap box.........
Robo, glad you and DH are doing well.........good to hear!
And continued good wishes to our friend Wendy...........
Too many posts to respond to..........
So, forgot how bad jet lag can be.........
Been awake since around 3am after only being able to stay awake till 9.30 last night.
So, laundry all finished and another few loads hung out as it is hot here!!! Sticky and humid through the night.......thank goodness for portable air con unit as regular air con just isn’t a thing over here in homes.
Back to reality for a few weeks..........but, least we have this heatwave to enjoy for a little longer..........
Had good flight home, left on time and arrived early which is always good..........gotta love the jet stream!
But hear everyone on the diet plans.......we have put on so much weight it’s shocking!!! Too much good living apparently...........
Trip report will be around at some point........although not sure this one will take long.........
Happy Friday all.............
