On the Road Again...

"I just can't wait to get on the road again...hm mm...hm mm...hm mm...just can't wait to get on the road again." Thank you Willie for such a catchy tune. Hubs is a pilot. When we first started dating he asked me if I could handle being with a pilot. I'm an adventurous gal. I love to travel, I have a gypsies heart. I lived for 5 years out of a duffel bag...I think I was made to be a wanderer.

The months of December and January tend to be a lot of travel time for hubs, which turn makes me want to pack up and go too. However, the months of December and January are not really good times for us to pack up and go. There are the holidays and now with Jettson in school it makes it a lot more tricky to make plans. Hubs is a corporate pilot, so I don't think the CEO's and CFO's and General Managers would'nt take too kindly to the boys and I tagging along, no matter how much we would love to.

Jett has been asking me where we're going to go for Spring Break and actually, I've been wondering the same thing...where to go, what to do? At this time in hubs new job we can't really go too far, however, Northern US has been calling my name since last spring. I really want to take the boys up to Vancouver and Victoria Island. Seems like a doable trip...but not sure it's realistic for a one week road trip? I went on a road trip up there in my 20's, and if I remember correctly we were gone for almost 2 weeks. That seems more like the amount of time you would need for that type of journey... I know we can fly up there, but the point is to drive and check out all that I-5 has to offer in terms of scenic beauty. Jett mentioned Legoland last night and honestly, we had fun when we went, but I do not want to spend another family vacay at an amusement park. The funny thing is Jett will only ride a select few rides, so the rest is just a waste of time. Thankfully, Jett already went to Disneyland and Owen could careless about Disney or it's characters, whew! Owen would rather, like Jett go back to Legoland. I really want the boys to see the US and experience travel vs. commercialism in the form of amusement parks. Sadly, it's my fault for letting the kids watch Nickelodeon...now they want to go on a Spongebob Cruise...heck no!!! There is no way I want to spend thousands of dollars on a cruise with Spongebob or Mickey Mouse...no offense to those who do...it's just me...and I'm thinking when I hear these commercials blare out..."trip of a lifetime with Spongebob and Patrick" I can't help but think of it being the trip from hell for me... I know, I know...I've heard the whole line "but the kids will be entertained the whole time and being doing kid stuff, while you are lounging around the pool." I'm a freak when it comes to leaving the boys...so, yeah, that would not work for me. I would have to be with them the whole time and again, I do not foresee a happy time me hanging out with Mr. Krabs and Plankton, unless of course I'm completely intoxicated and stoned...which, perhaps would be much more entertaining than I'm giving it credit for...but I digress...

Where to go, what to do...that's what's on my mind today...so if any of you out there in the virtual world have any creative ideas, that would be easy on the pocket book...please, don't hold out on me.

With that...I will bid adieu...with hubs being gone...I need to use my time wisely and go finish the never ending...always-one-load-away-from-being-done...laundry.
