Single Woman – Life Experiences – Vacations/Life Stages

As I prepare for my trip with just 8 days to go, I think back on all those other trips/vacations I took during the various stages of my life.

First Vacation – with friends to Jamaica in the eighties. How simple – I just had to organize my teenage self – no other responsibilities.

Next – my honeymoon to Las Vegas in the nineties. Again, simple – just my new spouse and I.

Now for a little more planning – an International trip with spouse and very young son to visit family in Europe. Quite a lot more planning and an inconvenient layover in Halifax:).

Next – two young sons ( no spouse) and a trip up north for  a week at the beach at a co-workers cottage. How I managed to pack EVERYTHING into my small Hyundai Accent will be a testament to my organizational skills.

Fast forward -Winter 2007 and Walt Disney World, FL  with teenage sons – airplanes, travel insurance, gravol, plane activities ( no phones/ laptops), passport, additional docs to prove my sons are mine ( as I am now separated from spouse and he has joint custody – therefore special forms needed), loads of cash to cover the cost of having to eat in restaurants, et al for all three of us, 3x a day!

Easy Breezy Trips- spa weekends with my BFF’s – London, downtown Toronto, Collingwood.

Now my first vacation travelling on my own – more to follow:).
