  • Son just got back from a week in the Dominican Republic - checking out resorts for travel biz....Grandson arrived in Romania 2 days ago (Air Force) for 6 months or so.



    Sat outside for a couple hours today talking to friends who just came in from Texas (near Austin, I think)...airport run tonight to pick up another grandson coming in from Colorado for a few days....and other family here from Tennessee. (Big family bash here this weekend).


    Another similar party with my d-in-law's side of the family next month and again people will be here from several states,



    I'm just staying in one place and letting them come to me this summer.

    • Sounds like a great staycation!
  • We're bypassing Florida this year and are leaving for a 10 day stay in Myrtle Beach next Friday. A family friend lives there and her daughter's graduation party is next weekend. We figured we'd just make a vacation out of it.

    Might head back to Florida for Thanksgiving.

    • They would not let you in Disney Florida anyway as the Snow White exhibit already has a full compliment.

    • Dan, with your son being the age he is ... well needless to say you will have a blast in myrtle beach. You get the best of both worlds with amusement park type entertainment and beach fun right at your finger tips !!

      Enjoy !!! And be safe

    • Yeah , gotta go to one myself this weekend (friend's daughter)

      You heading out tomorrow or is that "next" weekend ??

  • More Micky Mouse vacations eh. Aren't your kids getting a little old for these types of holidays by now. I suspect it's really for you, now be honest. I'm going on a Bee Gee's themed package called "Staying Alive"

    • Yeah I admit I love it. I really do. Although I could do without the crowds. But iam guilty as charged

  • Well, I thought it was a good idea - 24 hrs and I'm ready for some of them to go home....and I'm stuck with them for a few days.

    • I would love to be a fly on the wall and witness this. Poor Kay King gets flustered

      No but seriously I hear you Kay. People visiting our household get under my skin as well after about a day or so. I think I just get put out with the
      " interruption"
      of my life. I have a set process on how I operate each day and I hate when it gets complicated
  • You get it. Not really flustered but I do bore rather easily (not a good trait).


    I'm in the habit of taking my Kindle and going off to read for an hour or two...and for some reason that is considered 'rude' (who knew?) so I have to stay and make conversation.



    I like people...in small doses....well spaced.

  • I figured dowin' the Inca Trail atop a camel, but they don't gaht too many camels in Peru.

    Plus also, naht too many mules equipped for the ride.

    It is like a utilitarian quadruped free zone.

    So I tryin' to source eithah condors, anacondahs or jeeps -- but it ain't easy.

    Tellya, the Inca Trail been around for centuries, an' you'd wanna figure they gaht alla this sorted.

    Delivaperu kinda thing.

    Hey, but so many ancient culchahs ain't what they were -- or even what they weren't.

    My view?

    It is ultimately hoomanity's loss.

    Alternative scenario is a Caribbean crooze feacherin' a murder mystery entitled Who Bit The Captain's Head Clean Off?

    Or mebbe tryin' to get thrown outta France for bein' too bohemian.

    tbh I still decidin'.

    • Just rode Guardians of the Galaxy ride last night. It was an incredible roller coaster. It's one reason why I watched GOTG the movie the other night as to prepare me for this ride at Epcot. We had to go thru virtual seating to secure our ride.

      It was absolutely insane. Dan, if you go to Disney world this Fall make sure you include GOTG ride in your itenary. You won't be sorry !!

    • His kids would rather visit museums and places of historical interest, but due to their fathers constant whining, they reluctantly agree to take him to places like Disneyland. Sad.

  • Never thought I would say this - but I saw the trailer for the Barbie movie tonight - and it looks really funny.


    This is coming from one of the perhaps 10 women who grew up in the USA and NEVER wanted nor owned a Barbie doll.....

    • I watched this trailer and will not stop until I can obtain this movie and place it in my possession. Lol

      I thought the actors for Barbie & Ken were just a tad too old. My sister had a Sindy doll, similar thing, but perhaps exclusive to the UK?
  • I liked that the actors were not teen or pre-teen gigglers. This appears to be a good spoof on the Barbie thingie.
