Wwyd for a weekend adventure?

[bab]

Could you just take a cruise to the Bahamas out of Miami? I imagine you might be able to get a decent last minute deal and most of the cruise lines do a 3 day to the Bahamas.
If not, maybe Key West?

I loved rafting on the Gauley River in West Virginia. They have some great camping / rafting packages.

Key West is always fun, too.

Or maybe Puerto Rico?

Like do you want an actual adrenaline type adventure or just something....else. A while back I hear good reviews for ziplining and other adventures with Forever Florida. I don't know of you are into camping, etc, but I have been wanting to check out Itchetucknee Springs and go tubing but I don't know what it is like there this time of year.

Or the phosphorescent bay in Puerto Rico?

I want to be you for a few weeks. Not in a creepy skin suit way but in a wow your life always seems so exciting and fun.

Lol. Thanks. But there is nothing special about me. Life is a choose-your-own adventure kind of thing and you only get one chance. You have some inheritance I think you've saved. Why not do something that excites you?

I'm scared to spend it. When I lived with my Dad I was very poor. My mom married into money for her 2'nd marriage. I need to have that money set aside so that J will never need to know what it's like not to have food in the house or electricity if something happens. I do think about a Disney vacation when his sensory stuff is more under control though. I hope to save my own money for that.

And there is something special about you. Plenty. You made huge choices from the time you were what 18ish? And going forwrd to create happiness for yourself. That's huge and admirable.

Don't forgot to do things for yourself. You're going to raise J to be self sufficient and there is nothing wrong with mommy spending a grand to go to an island alone for 4 nights. You do everything for everyone and it's okay to take care of you. There no medal for most sacrifice.

That's obtuse and you know it. There's PLENTY wrong with spending $1k when you want to /need to/should save it. And you don't have to spend $1k to go away for a few days and give your kids time without you. Besides, isn't your friend paying for your trip?

I would find the best groupon I could in the Caribbean or FL. There are some really nice ones in areas you are talking about and also like on Amelia Island.

Maybe Charleston, SC? I went in early fall a few years ago and it was perfect weather for walking on the beach and going out in town at night. Have fun whatever you do!
