As my life moved forward and got better, I told my kids we would be going to Walt Disney World in Florida. I had a full time job, I had paid off the loan on my Hyundai Accent and “Darn it” – we were going to Florida. The trip would be in January 2007 – I started planning in Dec. 2005! This trip would be the first major vacation for the three of us and I was not going to let my guys down!
I sourced hotels, parks, rental cars, travel insurance, flights, meals, excursions, daily spending needs, weather, temperature. Plus I had to get approval from their dad to take them out of the country. If nothing I am really good at organization!.
The flight was booked for Jan 3, 2007 at 10:30 am. On Jan. 2 – I waited anxiously for their dad to drop them off – as he had custody of them for that weekend. I panicked that he wouldn’t bring them back. He did:).
Finally the morning had arrived! We made it!
We went to all the parks, Key West, Lego World, Candy Store, etc, and one of the highlights for my sons, was, while all of their friends were back at school after the Holiday break, they were swimming in an outdoor pool in January! The only complaint they had was that I made them go to bed on time, each nite…..They were still just 14 and 10 years old….LOL..
Now we fast forward to March 2016. My trip to Winnipeg, MB took ten and half years to come to fruition- this trip was going to be my first, by myself. Stay tuned as we explore how this came to be…
