Summer time..... vacation planning

[chris4short]

So... my parents are going to celebrate their 40th anniversary next year, and as a family we are planning to vacation together. I think the last time we did this was in 2010 when we went to Connecticut to celebrate Grandma's 90th birthday. And I think that's also when jessm78 and I spent the day on Long Island too! Good times

YES!! I think it was 2010... or 2005? 2007? Something like that... Anyhow it was a lot of fun, good times indeed! :D We should do it again if both our schedules end up working out at the same time :)

Woo-hoo for your parents' 40th! That's awesome. You guys have a great time! Oh so jealous, I would love to visit England & Stonehenge in particular... Ireland and Scotland too for the family roots thing, and even Wales 'cause it looks so pretty too. Mmmm, so many pipe dreams.

HAHA! I totally understand. It was fun - and I am sad that we only were in CT for 4 days for Grandma's funeral. It would have been a bright spot to see you! We need to figure out when I can get you down to the South!

I was bummed my cousins don't have time around July/Aug to spend a week in Spain, or somewhere else, but I do have money from last England trip, so that's nice. If I could pack big suitcases!!! I am really glad to be going back overseas, but as always, the time never is there to just stay and travel without cares....

Heck yeah!! And I really need a totally awesome excuse to get down south!!

Oh hey and I don't know if this could be interesting, or creepy, or both.. But I've been going through Ancestry.com (got one of those trial membership thingies & it exploded from there), and could we have a very distant relative thing going on?? My grandma's mom was born here in NY, but both her parents came from Germany. Her mom's last name was KERN. I kid you not. Seeing how these things are not always accurate - I could be totally wrong - but if not, kinda cool I think. :)

Really?!? What were their names? I started several times - free and now I pay monthly. They now have an app.

Cool.

I guess that means our vacation plans for this summer are on hold? :D

[chris4short]

Well.... kind of. I had thought of that when the family was talking...

At this point we didn't really come to a defiant thing. Mom and I were up at midnight and we were looking at the prices to fly to Germany and England - let's just say I will be skipping a 10 week course in grad class, and paying a higher *HIGHER* bill instead.

Do you pay that much for your classes ?????

Now you have to give me ideas on where to go on vacation by myself, since the others already made plans without me :D
