My parents took me to Italy at 15. We did UK and lots of Europe when I was in my early 20's. I loved it, but don't think I would have cared much if I was younger. My mom was a travel agent, specifically she designed tours so she knew how to set up an itinerary. Plus she spoke many languages and my step-dad speaks German. That all helped. We never did a tour group thing. We just rented cars and took off. We joked that we had seen every church in the UK, France, and Germany. We are not even Catholic. They are just the prettiest ones. I took Latin in college, so I loved trying to decipher the Latin inscriptions in churches and many of the older buildings. I also had more of a love for history that I didn't have when I was a little kid. You appreciate history more when you have lived a little.This is why I’m saving Italy til T’s teen years. It’s not even a discussion right now, I want him to really appreciate and enjoy the experience. It’s also one place that I’ve never been.. so I think it will be great for the both of us. Another two are Morocco and South Africa, those need to be teen years too for us.

I wouldn’t keep up with any of my friends if it wasn’t for social media.
Nice! Ireland and Scotland are near the top of our list.. the other top spots are Costa Rica, Spain, Lisbon, Israel, and Turkey.
I have 2 friends in England, 1 Leeds, and 1 in London.. they always invite us.. I have another friend in Czech Republic.. which we will do eventually.
My hold up with international travel has just been the “1 adult” thing, dealing with luggage, trains, etc.. He’s now old enough that I think we can start.. I’m still a little intimated though. Resorts and cruises are much easier on me right now.
That is a pretty ambitious list. You might want to wait until she is much older so she can appreciate trips like that.

The weather is not looking good. My dh has to go in early so they can get out before it gets too bad. I get to sleep in because he'll be home to wake the boys up![]()
First off sir????????????????????? and does the truth hurt your fee fees?
Woah. That Van show. Pretty racy stuff. (Sorry, I just find it amusing what does and doesn't get bleeped sometimes.)What a great show! Does anyone remember all of the old Nick at Night shows in the 80s? **** Van ****, Patty Duke, etc?
Confession- I’ve always been a little bit too obsessed with Audrey Hepburn. I have every movie that she was in.. probably every biography.. and too many coffee table books and old magazine compilations that I’ve collected over the years.
I also watched Bye Bye Birdie more times than I can count when I was younger..as well as the production. I used to dance around in my bedroom pretending I was Kim.. (or Olivia Newton John while listening to my ‘Physical’ record, depending on the day)
Oh, and I have every episode of I Love Lucy, and many Lucille Ball biographies as well.
Hollywood makes that time look so great, as does photos of my grandparents.. but when I really look at that time, I am glad that I missed it... but it does look so nice!

I have to plan all of our adventures with just myself and the kid, too. My husband travels so much for work there's no telling if he'll be able to come with us. The nice thing about Germany and having family there though is that there is a built in support network. They'll know where the kid friendly things are and best hospital to go to just in case. Their daughter is about 1.5 years younger than ours. So while we're with them, we'll have help. That's extra important at this age.
We're definitely not planning on hitting them all up next year!!
Germany is a lock for next year, though! We'll fly into Munich and spend a couple of days there exploring the city and that AMAZING park I miss so greatly, take a day trip out to Neuschwanstein castle (the "Walt Disney Castle") and then head North a couple hours to the Nuremburg area where my half brother and his family lives.
We've been thinking Costa Rica for 2020 though. The cloud rainforests are calling my name![]()
We actually say "whasap me" or "send me a whasap" when mentioning whasap.I mean a whatsapp. I don't know what it's called in the US, but over here, we tell someone to "app me". Text would only apply to SMS. If I'm using facebook, I'd say "message me", for SMS, I'd say Text, and for Whatsapp it's "app me". I take it you all don't do that? Do you have whatsapp?
BOOOOO, there is always time!I still haven't seen it. Not sure when I am going to have the time. Maybe over Spring Break?
I'm sort of ok. Swelling is way down, but I got more blisters. At least doc says I got way less blisters than expected.How are you doing today @Cesar R M ?
