My grandfather passed away at the end of February and due to the timing the airfare was around $1000 per person to get down to Florida. My husband & I as well as my cousins could not make it. We wrote something to be shared at the funeral and that was our way of taking part. Since then I've thought about going down for a long weekend to visit my grandmother. The chance came up just yesterday.
I'm going to tag along with my dad for the tail end of his business trip next week. I'll crash at his hotel for 1 night (fingers crossed for a beach hotel), and then we'll have dinner with Nana.
I really felt so guilty for not seeing her with all she went through. Now's my chance to spend a few days down there (also for some quality father/daughter time too).
Spring is just around the corner here but after walking around Boston last night with the 23 degree wind whipping around me I'm ready for some beach time. Now let's hope it does not rain.
I really like to travel by myself. The last few months I've gone to Texas, Indianapolis, Jacksonville (all for work), and I look forward to my next work trip to Dallas in May (I'll be there on May 5 which should be fun!).
I can't even remember the last time I went to the beach. I stretch my brain and realize I only went once last summer and it was the rocky Maine shores so no swimming was had. You see, I'm not married to a 'beach person'. Even if it does rain next week in Florida, it's some quality time with Nana which is very important as she is now all alone down there without any family.

she'd like to go too you know, even if she says she wouldn't.

Nana called me last night and said she is looking forward to my visit. :)
Since we don't vacation until September/October each year perhaps this will last me until then!
Thanks for stopping by!
