This is the first year in about five that we will not be heading out on a boat for the second week in January. I made a fuss last year that our only vacation is the same year after year after year and was appeased with the promise of every other year. I don't want to sound like a total tart, but there is a lot of this world I have not seen that does not easily translate to six days on a boat in January. Also, I'm allergic to the sun and hate salt water.
But a few months back MAS was bemoaning the fact that we were not going to have boat time this year. It was, in fact, ruining his life. So, being the good wife that I am, I agreed. I mean we did take a road trip over the summer and that should technically count as a vacation not on a boat. We sent an email to our boat friends, everyone was excited, and then MAS realized he was scheduled to be in the UK for the about half of the time we were meant to be on the boat. Alas, our tropical vacation has be cancelled for 2013. BUMMER.
In all honesty, I'm kind of excited. I'm tagging along on his work trip and we're taking a few extra days to tour Wales. It'll be great. But it means I have ZERO reason to purchase this most amazing suit. Especially since the day we agreed to start planning our 2013 sailing trip I purchased a suit I still have not worn. Yes, my weakness for swimwear is ridiculous. But seriously, someone should buy this suit.
I had the same vacation meltdown last year. We spent upwards of 15k (not including missing work) visting our Northern relatives 6+ times in 2011. I put my foot down & said if my (and his) relatives would like to see us, they can very well hop on a plane or in a car. In fact, it is probably easier for them to travel than us and our limited budget.
ReplyDeleteSince then we've seen 2 new states and 2 new countries. No regrets.
