Mexico :)

Hmmmm.... your brother's friend doesn't sound like he is very nice. I'm reaching here, but I wonder if he has a crush on you and that is why he got so mad at Scott??? Probably not, just a thought.

I'm sorry the end of the vacation didn't turn out so well. It is the pits to come home sick too. I would imagine the food had something to do with it. Gary got sick on our Caribbean cruise and has stomach problems and diarrhea for a couple of weeks, YUK! We really don't like Mexico/Caribbean so we vowed never to go back. You do have to be careful with the food/water down there.

I'm glad you and Scott had a good time together!

It sounds like you and Scott had a good time......unfortunately some people are not very mature......but don't let it ruin your vacation.

The foam thing sounded like fun.....not the drinking part but just the foam!! I could go for that......oh, and playing in the waves!!

Sorry about the sunburn......that's no fun. My Mom burns easily and when she knows that she's going to be in the sun she goes to a tanning spa. It really helps her. The peeling is NOT fun!!!

Mexico is infamous for causing "tummy troubles"!! Hope everyone is better soon!!

I didn't know this was a family trip. How nice that you got to go down with them.
Your brother's friend needs to be told off! (At least, that's what I would do, and I would not let my brother off the hook too easily either for not defending Scott).

Sorry! I guess I'm being an instigator..It sounds like you and Scott got some quiet time alone, which is always nice!

I hope the tummy rumbles go away for all of you soon!

My tummy rumbles are gone

I was ready to say something but I didn't want to cause an even bigger fight. I was more upset than Scott was, he told me that he's used to it because that's how he's been treated his whole life. My heart broke for him because nobody should feel they deserve to be treated that way! We are all adults, I think it's time some people start acting like it. It really didn't matter to us if we were invited into their exclusive little clique or not. We had more fun (and less expensive fun) with everyone else anyway

My dad loves to travel but my mom hasn't done much traveling so I'm glad she went on that trip! She just got her passport in December especially for Mexico. She's already talking about her next trip down there and other places she'd like to go. Her income tax return this year is getting put away for next winter's trip It's good for her and my dad both to get out of their regular lives for awhile I think so I'm really happy we convinced them to go this year!

For myself, it was my last trip for awhile. Hopefully by fall of 2011 Scott and I will have enough holiday time and money saved to go to Europe for 3 weeks (it's our next big plan!) but on the other hand we have found our absolute dream house and are on the fence on whether to keep that in mind or leave it for a few years... plus the cost of a wedding these days is pretty big We're talking seriously about wedding plans (location, guests, etc), but he's slow on the proposal lol

I would love to travel and I'm hoping that now with the last of our kids to move out soon that, maybe, we will. Glen bought a new pickup the other day and a fifth wheel hitch will fit in it and we have some info on a fifth wheel camper that maybe we can get a good deal on. Hopefully we'll be doing some checking on it soon. I'm excited!! We have a popup but it's really on it's last leg and I've been talking about getting something different.

I know that we probably won't be traveling like you do, Lindsey, but even just a little bit around our area will be fun. I would love to see Europe!!!

Sorry Lindsay to grab your thread to reply to Diana......... but..........Diana! I hope you do buy the 5th wheel and start traveling. I'm so glad that we bought our early ~13 years ago. If we had waited, Gary would have gotten heart trouble, and we probably never would have been brave enough to do it after that. Getting it early, before we retired, we were able to travel some and get used to it so that after he got sick, we knew we could still travel (although we downsized) and do just fine.

It is so much fun to just jump in the pickup, hook up the trailer and go somewhere for the weekend or week.

DO IT!

WOW!!!
