Trip scheduled, Yippee!!!
My sister and her family are going to Europe at the end of July, and Justin, my son and I decided to join them. Chris is unable to take time off from work at this time, so it will just be my baby (23, ha!) and me.
I'm excited because this will be a great time to make memories with my son, while he still wants to go on vacation solo with his mom. He's happy about traveling with his cousins, they are very close and have alot of fun together.
We fly from LAX to London for 3 days, Paris for 3 days, Milan for 2 days, then Barcelona for 2 days. Nice that I'll be traveling with my own personal PCP, my sister is a family practice MD.
We leave July 23rd, I can't wait!

That's just fantastic news. You'll have the time off your life. I think it's going to be bonding with your son...you'll never regret that! My kids do so much stuff with me I would never trade that for anything. I guess we're both very lucky.
Have fun,
Al
ps will I fit in a suitcase?
