Thanks for the new avatar compliments...ya'll are too sweet:) I'm used to being the one BEHIND the camera:p

You are so pretty Betsi!!! When I first logged on and saw your picture I though "who is this new person"....lolol. You have the prettiest eyes and smile.

I'm glad to finally "see" you too, Betsi!! I noticed your new avatar but haven't taken the time to say how much I like it!! I'm glad you're here!!

We are taking my family 7 of us including my two grandchildren to Cyprus in august we used to live there so my children want to go back.
Christmas we are going skiing in Canada well the family are skiing me I am hoping to shop and relax:).

Betsi what part of Scotland is your son going to?.

Crystal and I are going to Edisto, SC the first week of June. There will be enough of us that my friends are renting 4 houses.

WOW! That sounds like a lot of fun!!! That's a lot of people! I've never been there, what is it like? what all will you do?

Sounds wonderful to be able to vacation and have so many friends with you.

You'll have a great time! I'm so excited for you. (Congrats on one year cancer-free by the way!!!) LOVE YOU!

As for me, no vacations this year since I'll be in class most of the summer. I have a lot of out of town friends and family visiting for graduation though so that will be nice.

I just booked two nights inside Yellowstone National Park - very hard to find lodging, especially lodging that will take pets (we are taking Rowdy with us) . But I found a hotel built in the 50's :eek: that looks to be OK - of course pictures are deceiving. Gary and I have stayed in some DIVES - LOL! - so we will be fine - should be interesting!!! :D

Now, I'm looking for lodging in Jackson Wy - VERY expensive - Super 8 is close to $200 a night :eek: and I am limited by needing a pet friendly hotel. I found a neat cabin type place 5 miles out of town last week and now I CAN'T FIND IT AGAIN! Do you all ever do that - find something on the internet and then can't get back to it :mad: Makes me soooo mad!!!

We bought (who am I kidding they GAVE it to us!! )my parents 25ft fully contained trailer last year...We just opened it Saturday....Now I've got the WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GO... bug!! We plan on taking many trips this year...not to far probably,with the economy the way it is and me losing my job, we will have to stay local but, that is ok...as least we will be camping...Planning on going to Maine with it...I LOVE Maine!

Brenda I love camping, just haven't done it for awhile. I've been looking for used motorhomes (as if we could afford one). I did go to an auction this past Saturday and looked at a camper, but it was so small. I'm not one to give up too easily so I'll keep looking.

That sounds so exciting Brenda! I love camping too. We haven't done it as a family since my parents bought the cabin and sold our tent trailer. I do love going out with friends to set up tents at a lake for a weekend. My mom actually just bought another tent-trailer from a coworker for just $100!!! They are going to set it up while the new cabin is getting moved out to the lake and fixed up... just a place to sleep and cook until the new place is ready!

Brenda, we've been known to take our travel trailer to a little park just about 10 miles from our home, on the outskirts of the city - just to get out of town. Sometimes we go 1500 miles, sometimes we go 50 miles, but we always have a great time! In only 3 weeks we'll be going to Arkansas (about 500 miles away) for a couple of weeks!

I actually used to camp alot when my girls (skin) were young. As they grew life got to busy with dance recitals, softball etc.....so we sold our trailer. I LOVE camping...although I can't say that we rough it too much...this trailer has EVERYTHING and more than what we need....I LOVE IT! can't wait for our first trip.
