[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 442762, member: 6546"] Yeah, I gotta admit... this is sounding less and less "fun". And here is the ridiculous backstory: We have not visited these people in more than four years. Every spring, I get a tearful call from Mom - wondering whether we will come to visit over the summer....and the last several years I've told her "No." So this year, when Mom called in the spring...I told her I was "pretty sure" we were going to make it this year. At that time, Mom reminded me about her job and was worried that I wouldn't give her enough notice for time off. Meanwhile, husband and I discussed the fact that our vacation needed to include some "fun" stuff. We decided to stay in a central location between family and a few attractions....and then we created a loose schedule of activities. We settled on our plan - and booked our hotel. THEN I called my Mom - thinking she'd be [I]thrilled[/I]... And now it sounds like us visiting is just a huge inconvenience. So - I guess we'll be spending a little more time at the attractions than we thought. Next year....screw em! [/QUOTE]
