Any winter trip we have done, is usually arranged 3 months ahead. This one, we were on the fence and it was decided with less than 20 days to arrange. That is about as spontaneous as we can get nowadays. Vigorous planning and an immense network of people helping with the details at home. I choked on the cookies! Hubby asked for them and got me started. It was never about the destination, just the journey. Phones off, feet up, being a couple.
The year we got married, we attended a charity event. We offered to go through the Niagara region and pick up all the wine for the event. It was an extremely hot and humid day. We did a detour to the falls and ended up running through landscaping sprinklers. It is one of my favourite memories, all the tourists hustling to see the falls and sights, and just us running through sprinklers, drenched and laughing. That is how I see us, creating our own fun, wherever we are.
We have swam underwater caves in Mexico, drove a jeep and speed boat in Dominican, a double decker bus in Cuba, a buggy ride through Central Park, seen the Grand Canyon, slots in Vegas and now to the tip of the southern states. All fabulous, but what do we talk about? We talk about the Uber driver and his story, the bank tellers little expresso cups on their break, roosters on a beach, the toddler riding her parent’s suitcase, the CSI badge for Larry. Time well wasted. Times that are off the cuff. Whatever you have, enjoy it! I asked hubby what was his favourite part of the trip, he replied, “Being with you.”
