Saw in your siggy you go on vacay soon....where are you going?

[winecheery]

Vieques! First I go back East for Christmas first, then onto to the tropics for like, 8 days. I cannot wait! We've been before, and (not to be a total bitch) but I had hoped to go somewhere new, but the airfare was astronomical this year. So I'm grateful to be going anywhere at all.

[HoneySpider]

Sounds like fun! I could really go for a vacation, I am jealous. We really only ever travel to see family and go to weddings and stuff since the airfare is so much.

Come along to stay HS! We're staying at a kick ass house that a friend's fam rents every year. This is part of why we chose to go there as well; cheaper airfare than say, Turks and Caicos, AND free place to stay.

I know I sound like a brat when I talk about travel sometimes. We travel a lot. It's a huge priority for us, and we are very fortunate to be able to do it. I get so antsy to see new places and not repeat places because there is so much world out there, but I forget that we're lucky to go anywhere at all.

I totally get the wanting to go somewhere new. When people ask my favorite vacation spot, I usually say "someplace I haven't been" I like going new places too! Unfortunately, too many places to go and too little money/vacation time to do it!

DH & I were planning to go to Ireland this year until we had 3 very expensive OOT weddings to go to. Depending on what happens in the next few months we may go next year as a vacation/graduation trip.

The wedding thing is a debate with DH and I. I get wanting to go to everybody's weddings, but I'm selfish enough to be combative when it seems like we are shelling out a shitton of money for one weekend....but then I can't buy a piece of furniture that I've been waiting on for like months now, because so-and-so's wedding is gong to cost a small fortune. I'm like...ok...I know you can't replace people/memories, and the couch will still exist when I get back from whoever's wedding, but COME ON!

I really hope you get to go to Ireland, sometime that would be awesome! Tell people to stop gettin hitched!

[HoneySpider]

Well so far we have no weddings on the agenda for 2013, better stay that way! Yeah in the last 2 years it has been all family/closest friends so we felt we couldn't skip it you know? And we live so far away from our family & friends that we have to travel for everything. Sucks sometimes.

[winecheery]

Oh I get it! I really am glad we've been at all the weddings actually, because they are so fun, and it's all the same friends mostly so it's like a reunion. But at the same time (IMHO) other people's life events shouldn't stand in the way of your own life events. What I mean is, "make your own story too, don't just be a character in others'" kind of thing...
