I went to California on a work trip last Summer which was a four day spin around but worth the effort, and yesterday I found in my daughter's room the spread sheets we prepared before I went; on it was the hourly schedule for her week so she knew exactly what was going on, where she would be, who would be there and email addresses and numbers for and all the people and things she would do, I even left her my mobile phone so she could call and text me (aged 8) - I am amazed we did it to be honest but it was an extraordinary for both of us and for the better. I always get to a point when I just want to be home though and the trips have to really interest me to be worthwhile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5778330150286788997.post-34827247122190500592009-03-06T12:20:00.000-06:002009-03-06T12:20:00.000-06:00I was with you every step of the way!

The oddest thing was having so much silence...not hearing them and not hearing my own voice in response. And it was kinda nice to get back 'normal life'. It all felt like a bit of a game. Once it would have been natural - but on the trip I felt a little like a fish out of water.Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017352687163694581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5778330150286788997.post-70964545893857361762009-03-05T15:25:00.000-06:002009-03-05T15:25:00.000-06:00Adult carefree travel without the anxiety of occup...Adult carefree travel without the anxiety of occupying a child - happy, distant memories now. It would be lovely to have some of that again but I'm certain I'd be looking round half the time wondering where she is and why someone is saying constantly in my ear "I'm bored! Are we nearly there yet?" And that's only 5 minutes into the journey!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5778330150286788997.post-52675174605806213272009-03-04T13:49:00.000-06:002009-03-04T13:49:00.000-06:00Absolutely fantastic post.Worth waiting for.And I ...Absolutely fantastic post.<BR/>Worth waiting for.<BR/>And I am so with you on the 'bliss' of traveling alone, sans enfant.<BR/>Remember when I went to the Canaries for 5 days/4 nights?<BR/>Heaven all the way.<BR/>xxMum's the wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955120503048845056noreply@blogger.com
