| My travel buddy hubby admiring the Carribean Sea at Punta Sur TAKEN: NOVEMBER 30th, 2026 |
Believe it or not, my travel
buddy hubby has worked for the same company (which was sold and only incurred a
name change) since he was fifteen years old. Something not many can admit,
including yours truly.
The reason I shared my husband’s
years of service is because he has earned a whooping six full weeks of vacation,
so when I changed jobs about five years ago, four weeks of vacation time was a
hard negotiation point in my selecting my employer.
Anyway, when the children left
the nest, we finally decided it was our turn to reap the rewards of our years
of hard-work. So, we took our first trip without our children in the winter of
2012.
After that amazing trip to Negril
Jamaica, we quickly embraced a sense of wanderlust that has increasingly grown
with each passport stamp since.
I guess you can say that I chose
the word I did today because so many people have opinions on the amount of
travel we get to enjoy – and I tend to feel obligated to explain how I budget and
execute our travel choices.
So many passive agressive comments, so many so many sarcastic "it much be nice" judgemental type remarks. Which is why we accept no one’s definition of how we should live our lives.
...Because we are quite capable of defining it for ourselves!
