.... He's even gotten my kids into referring to "Mama's latest travel scheme," when talking about future vacations.

Tell the kids since they are NOT enjoying or helping Mama, YOU are leaving them home on the next several "Mama's latest travel scheme".;)

Or as my Mama would say, "I brought you into this world, I can take you out!"

I had to do that with my boys, it worked! The thought of being left with their Aunt and having to sleep on an Aero bed brought them around rather quickly.

I now have an 11 yr old assistant, who is very eager to look at menus and activities.

Haha! The kids actually enjoy my travel "schemes." They are old enough (15, 12) that they each have places they want to visit. In fact, our trip last summer was started with the idea that my daughter said she missed the road trips we used to take when my mother lived about 12 hours away. We flew into Las Vegas and drove to Utah, Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota, flying out of Rapid City. We visited 11 or 12 National Parks and Monuments in 9 days. And the kids specifically requested visiting some of the national parks based on school projects they had done.

It's more my husband that rolls his eyes and acts like my suggestions are akin to Lucy's ideas on I Love Lucy. However, like any good wife, I know how to "persuade" him into doing exactly what I want to do. As they say in the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, "The husband is the head of the family, but the wife is the neck and the neck controls the head." I love that movie!

At the end of the day if how you use your points makes you happy that is all that matters.

We have done a med cruise twice on celebrity. Venice is fantastic. It is the only cruise I do that I lose weight due to all the walking and sightseeing.

We stayed in Barcelona for 4 days before one of our cruises, which was great since it gave our luggage a chance to catch up with us!

Don't miss the zoo. IT sounds like a great vacation. Have the time of your life and make memories.
