With a little one in tow, it's a lot of do-ing. I want a grown up vacation where we can finally just BE. We live far away from both families, so all of our vacation is spent visiting family.

In the fall we take a long "BE" vacation that involves sleeping late, hiking in the autumn hills, and maybe visiting a winery or two...or not. Every time I think about planning a "DO" vacation, I feel tired. Haven’t done a “DO” vacation in quite a while.

We have one planned for August right before I head back to school. I can't wait for the vacation, but I can wait a bit for school to start! :) And your weather makes ours here in central Minnesota seem cool...but it's humid here too: my glasses steam up when I step oustide!! Enjoy your vacation! :) I like BE vacations best because my life seems so hectic most of the time. We have one planned for August right before I head back to school.

It was a new look at Cuba for me, as I used to go often with Senda Piana to Havana and spent a lot of time working in Havana and living in private homes. This year, with our 2 1/2-year-old daughter, we thought a nice visit to the beach would be easier. There is a lot to be said for just visiting one beach for a whole week!

Like when we go to Colorado some of the Do-ing is flyfishing.....but, because of the nature of fishing, there's a lot of Be-ing included. This year we are going on a 5-day cruise. We will visit two ports, so we will have two days of Do-ing and three days of Be-ing. We like Be vacations with a little dose of Do.

I wouldn't be able to tell you if I like Do or Be vacations, because my last two vacations involved working at the local chocolate shop over the week of Valentines and packing our remaining stuff so we could be ready to move before our closing. They were not much like vacations at all, because they weren't even Do vacations they were Errand vacations (I don't really like Errand vacations at all). I'm looking forward to my vacation in October, which will hopefully be both a Do and a Be vacation and have no errands at all. Heh.

Since our honeymoon (eight years ago last March) we have not been anywhere that did not involve a hospital stay. (I have chronic stomach problems - we did get to go to Rodchester Minn. to the Mayo Clinic a couple of times). We have 8 horses and 2 teenagers to take care of, and its hard to leave for even a day without throwing off their feeding schedule (thats the horses, not the kids). I will be thinking of you and wish you a glorious, wonderful, relaxing super time! I do however have an idea to take pictures of Loopy this summer (more about that later) Sheri,

Of course , growing up all our vacations were more of the DO kind, but I'm learning now that all the doing was a way to keep us kids occupied. I’m a BE person.

That said, we are scheduling two fishing excursions during our vacation in Mexico, so I think we'll have some balance. The rest of the time, I plan to be either in the pool or under a cabana, always with a frosty drink at hand! (and knitting in my bag!)

Can't wait! Enjoy your time away, Sheri! Our sweltering heat hasn't started yet this year, and we are glad it has held off!
