Husbands and holidays

I tell ya - why isn't anything easy? Why is it that I feel I'm doing the organizing for a vacation, and then it all backfires. Drives me absolutely nuts.

I finally convince Trev he needs a vacation, and we agree that we'll take a week away sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The dates originally were around Dec 11th.......then it was the 12th, then the 13th, then the 14th.....

I find a secluded island in The Grenadines...to go and lie on a beach for a week. yeah! Takes a while to get there (4.5 hours to Barbados, then about another 90 mins - 1 flight and 1 boat trip). Should be worth it though!

Anyhow...I digress. So all this week while nagging Trev to get approval for his vacation, I've been looking at flights from NYC, ideally direct. I find an AWESOME ticket - about $325 return each, I give him all the details and he agrees. Just as I'm about to click the purchase button, he throws this huge hissy fit because it's not the 14th. Oh good grief....it was ridiculous. "I have a big rollout, why don't you ever listen?, why don't you just go on your own". I think the last comment was the best, don't you? What a wally. Ruined the mood for the evening....if you know what I mean.

Anyhow - we managed to get tickets (more expensive though) for the Friday....and we should have Palm Island booked in the next day or so. Here's the link if you're interested.

I'm so glad my bonus is paid quarterly and I get accelerators. I'm also glad that I'm getting a 2006 vacation. You never know, it may be as good as Heron Island in Australia!!
