We have not left the country since having kids, Conquest. Husband has a time or two for work. Glad you are going to get to the beach! This Chicago trip was somewhat impulsive. I booked a flight yesterday and got a good rate. However, I now see accommodations are pricey. But, I am committed no with a flight! Early Christmas for me, I suppose. Next week's 5 days on Shelter Island are free. Cousins home. We are at a hotel for two nights, though, before that. But our two summer trips have been relatively cheap. Lucky there.
Sorry you are not doing well, V. I hope you feel better after a good sleep.
Hope you are doing better, Briar.
About to walk then do a Costco run.
