DBF is waiting to hear if they are switching renewals from the summer to oct/nov/dec because that makes a difference with us being able to go. or i may just leave him at home.

looks like we posted at the same time....sorry you might not be able to go

There is a 499 day window when booking. I bet you are too far out?

I do not know for sure. I guess I have a year to see how the new prinicipal. If we went, we would probably go the 15th or 16th to about the 23rd or 24th depending on airfare. The problem is I would have to take off work that Monday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving Week. These are blocked days that you can not use personal days for (because they are attached to a holiday and everyone would try to get off). That means I would have to have a cool pricipal that would allow me to use sick days, otherwise I get docked If I could talk DH into, maybe I could do a girls only trip IF I can get off work? Then I would miss Thanksgiving with my DH, DS, and family?? Hmmmmm....

DD1 also turns 13 next July and we were talking about a cruise again because the kids really want to go on another cruise (and their passports expire the following year) so we are still deciding all of this.

What dates are most thinking of going? If money wasn't involved, it would be a no-brainer!! Decisions! Decisions!

so you aren't planning on coming Nov 2013 then?

Sorry no. I would love to because I'll be turning 40 in Nov 2013 but we are doing Spain over the summer for 2 months so I don't think we can save up enough.

500 mile pilgrimage through Spain. It's called the El Camino de Santiago.

you walk it and stay in Hostels along the way.

that will be a true adventure then, so it will take the 2 months to walk the 500 miles? that's a committment esp with the kids!

most people do it in 35 days but that's over 14 miles a day. I don't think the kids will last that long every day so we are aiming for maybe 7 a day.

You can start anywhere along the trail but there is one specific town that you have to start at to be able to be entered in the registers at the end. You get a passport that is stamped in each town to track your progress.

If you ever get the chance, watch the movie "The Way" with Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez, the movie is about the walk. Very moving story.

still 7 a day is alot....you are going to have amazing memories and photos!
ah, that's what the movie is about, will have to get it!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Have tissues handy if you watch. It's about the journey but it's also about a father and son. You couldn't have asked for 2 better actors to do it. Emilio actually directed, co wrote and starred in the movie.

I think it would be good for the kids. They are the ones that want to do it the most. To disconnect from the world but meet people from all over the world at the same time. AWESOME!
I'll go through DIS withdrawal though!! LOL I'd probably post once a week just so everyone knows we are alive.

I saw them on a talk show...may the Today Show...talking about it, looks wonderful!
sure it will be a terrific time for all of you to reconnect to each other and bonus not having electronics, etc.
yes you will, cause if you don't Nan will hunt you down!

Buffy, you better make sure you can text daily, forget the once a week!!!!!

LOL, daily?!?!?! I don't have that kind of money!!

How about smoke signals??

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Smoke signals will work..... but daily!!!!!!

 

[disney-akj]

We will have to watch that movie. My DH's minor in college was Spanish and he lived in Spain for a few months to do a study abroad program when we were in college. He is itching to go back, and would probably love to do this. It wouldn't be for a long while though, but it looks really neat!

We are booked November 21st-29th. We may leave the 28th if flights are significantly less for Thursday over Friday. I went with the 21st so if they offer free dining as they have in the past, we'll be in before the cutoff date. This way Morgan will only miss 4 days of school.
