[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 646192, member: 3419"] I understand. The hard part is getting someone to watch the kids. It's not like you can hire just anyone. Or even a regular relative. They have no idea what they're getting into. Years ago, we both traveled to Scotland when Rotary International had their yearly event in Glasgow. Great fun. We found reliable people to keep the kids. Not an easy task! Now-days, mostly, my husband travels short distances and times to places that would not interest me. Right now he's in Md for a training and I'm not interested. However, last year he went to a chiropractic event at the Homestead in VA, and I wanted to go. They get cheaper rates because of the large group, so we can afford it. I went horseback riding, and then came back and drank champagne in the lobby and read a novel. Soooo fun! We met at about 6:30 ea night when different vendors had cocktails, and then husband and I went for dinner after that. This summer I'm going to Minn (Mpls) to an art therapy event where Temple Grandin is the main speaker. My daughter can get school credit and asked if I wanted to go along. Are you kidding!? YES! Plus, I know all of my old school friends in Minn, all the shops, and a few scattered relatives. husband went to Honduras 15 years ago on a mission trip. I had no desire to go with him. Poverty, sadness, disease, deformity, lack of food and clothing ... While the main group teaches the alphabet, songs, prayer groups and math, I'd be out hunting the criminal parents who sent their kids out to live on the street. Nope, not for me. [/QUOTE]
