3WW - Trajectory-nervous-bicker


Vacations

are a luxury few can afford
but the hubster shan't be ignored

He decides our exotic destination
my job is trajectory formation

Buchart Gardens in Victoria, BC
ending at the Empress Hotel for tea

How to get me from airport to ferry
in a chair with a purse and suitcase to carry

Must get a passport card in a hurry
make all reservations so he won't worry

Can I make it without being seasick
I'm sure taking a some drug will do the trick

I picked a studio suite overlooking the harbour
but if he stresses at crowds it will feel like Pearl-Harbor

We may bicker and stress from point a to point b
but in the end we will see the grandsons, gratefully.

Shall I make him nervous with the final bill?
hell no, I want mementos and to eat at The Grill.

You two must crack each other up now and then. I know the two of us do.

I was on the phone with our son the other day and DH said, "Ask how old a certain person is." So I did and told him and he came back with "No they're not!" At which point I just said with highly arched brows, "Well, okay then. I guess you told me!" Our son cracked up and praised me with "Wow, you are patient, Mom!" Then we both cracked up again. Such times are the best don't you think! I do! Enjoy every morsel.

Oh you are going to get those memories!! Enjoy your vacation. I would like to see Victoria one day too! I hope the gardens will be in full bloom for you!

The final two lines sum up my philosophy of vacationing: enjoy, and don't worry overmuch about the cost. It's better to be thrifty at home than travel all that way just to pinch pennies.

Sorry about Wordpress. It captured your post and threw it in jail. It has been corrected. Hopefully, you'll come by this week and play.
