And so it begins.

It will be an interesting trip for your brother, has he ever done a long trip without you there?
Not this long, but they went to WDW without me my second semester of college (that was the year my friend and I went; we went early). He was feeling rather smothered when they got home.

I think the hard adjustment will be for my mom. My dad will miss having someone to stay with my brother so he and my mom can be off by themselves, but my mom will probably have a hard time adjusting. She and my dad never took trips without me or my brother growing up, so after always having me on vacation with her for 21 years, I think she'll have a hard time. She probably missed me the most out of anybody when I was in CA, even though I called her almost every day. The funniest part about them going to WDW after me that one year was that my dad ended up bringing me home more stuff than I had bought for myself. That's how I ended up with one of those TofT Do Not Disturb signs for my bedroom door.:hilarious: "Thanks, Dad. Didn't particularly need that, but thanks!"

I debated going with them as work indicated it wouldn't be an issue, but I really don't want to fly all the way there alone, especially with layovers and such. Plus, the type of vacation that they want to have in Hawaii verses the type of vacation I want to have tends to differ, which means there are days out there when I've just been bored out of my mind. They like doing a lot of driving, which is fine...for about one day. Other than that, I want to be in the ocean or actively doing something, not sitting in a car. I actually enjoyed San Diego driving more than Hawaii; I think because I was the one driving and it was for one day, plus we made a whole lot more stops and got out more than they do. They also like hiking up the mountains, and I had a hard time last time because of altitude sickness.

I decided to go to WDW with them instead because it's a bit easier to separate so we can all have the vacation we want. Aulani is one of their home resorts, so I assume they'll go back in a few years, in which case, I can reevaluate.

I'm actually kind of looking forward to them being gone. I'll have the house to myself for a few days, and they don't care if I have friends stay with me, so I'll probably have at least one friend over for part of the time. The Orioles are at home the first weekend they're gone, so I'll see if my dad will let me have his tickets, or if he can get me his law firm's tickets and go see a game with friends. And of course, I'm looking forward to Charleston; I haven't been in years and have never been in the summer, and I don't often get to see my family that lives there. Right after my step grandpa died, all of my cousins came up. Some of them I hadn't seen in years. This time, I should get to see everyone, so that'll be nice.

Yep, get that. That is also why at least once a year we took our kids on long WDW trips. Never sit idle kinda people nor a family that enjoyed road trips we've flown most places we go. I was really thinking about your brother on vacation without you that is going to interesting, not so use to you not being there and taking him places.

I think I was 18 when I started vacationing without my folks. I needed the separation at that point. At 20 they and my Sis went to Europe for a chunk of the summer. It was great having the house to myself. About a year after college I was pretty done, had a Dad that couldn't let go, if anything he became more controlling. I worked 2 jobs and bought a condo. Boy he was not happy. My Sis is in Ohio so we see each other like quarterly. She generally flies in for the weekend every few years with family for Christmas Eve.
It works.

so.. In other news.. Seems like Ubisoft has been chosen to make the huge "avatar" gaming project by Cameron.
I guess they want to do a Massive World of Warcraft/EVE style mass RPG.

Nothing to be ashamed of, IMHO.
It was a good movie. It was how the country was at one time, it's the history of our country...the good, the bad, and the ugly. The shame is that you pretty much can't view it anywhere anymore. I watched the whole movie on YouTube a few years ago again. It's all blocked now. PC gone awry, yet again.
People, ALL people, really need to get a grip.

I'm probably one of the few people who have never seen it. I only heard about the name of the movie when I first joined the forums back in 2013. At one point, someone posted a link, and I saw the beginning of it; but I got distracted and didn't see the rest of it, at the time. So from what you're saying, it sounds like it's disappeared now.

It is still available on the auction website on vhs . for anywhere around fifty of your US dollars .

Glad the vapor rub helped.

Not to contradict your doctor, but since you are sick, it may be a good idea to use your inhaler once or twice a day (in the morning when you get up and/or before going to bed) regardless of whether you feel like you need it or not. Sort of as a preventative measure. It can't hurt, and it'll probably help. Just until you get over the hump of being sick. :) The only real danger with albuterol is if you take more than two puffs every four hours (in which case, you should be at the ER for monitoring). But that doesn't sound like the case with you.
Yeah I think he thought I might need it some more too. I have a refill for several more. Yeah that inhaler goes with me everywhere in my purse nowadays. ;)

Well, I spoke with my aunt today, and unless work stops me, it looks like I'm going to Charleston while my parents are in Hawaii. My aunt got a place on the beach that sleeps 10, and she's got a van, so she can drive everyone. So basically, I'll pay for my flight, food, and possibly parking at the airport for just the weekend, although I might ask one of my uncles (or my aunt who lives here) if he (or she) can take us and then pick me up when I come home. We shall see.

I'm excited; didn't think I was getting a trip to the beach in again this year.
Yayyy for you! I love Charleston. We go down for weekends a lot. Spring is my fav time though before it gets that awful heat in the summer.
