For my birthday this year, Becky and I are going shopping in new York. We fly on my birthday (19th Nov) and have 5 days there, trying to prioritise what we want to do but as long as Becky gets to shop she will be happy!
Tickets have arrived and I am beginning to get excited and nervous.

wow hun a trip of a lifetime i hope you have a fantastic time and dont forget to post some pics i am dead jealous now lol
xx

It is something we always said we would do and as Becky does plan to work in Australia in a year or two I need to make the most of my time with her.

gosh that sounds great it would be great to do with alice when older best start saving now!!!!!!!

lol tracy alison you have done it now becka wants to do this now as well lol xx

You can't beat Christmas shopping in New York. Last time I went it was 1976 but I bet it hasn't changed much.

another lucky lady
because of my illness i cant get travel insurance i am classed as high risk so going abroad is out of the question for me i have always wanted to go to canada a girl can dream lol

Less than two weeks to go now, yesterday becky got some currency for us and I have sorted out my stitching to do during the flight.

i know hun because the kids are growing up so fast me and shaun would love to get away but he wont go if i cant and that makes me feel like i am spoiling things for him its because i have 17 or so blood clots in my head legs and lung so a long flight wouldnt be a good idea

We are the opposite here Jayne, it's me who wants to travel and hubby who won't. He's in a wheelchair most of the time and as a repairman has seen too often what an airline can do to wheelchairs. So, I travel alone or with other gals. My last big (for me) trip was from BC to Newfoundland in 2007 for an embroidery seminar, getting there a few days early & renting a car for sightseeing. Would do it again in a heartbeat, but have to save up my AirMiles (collect them when you shop at certain stores, 3400 to get to Newfoundland, I now have 218). So tell your Shaun - if I can do it, he can too! Hugs, Susan

i will do hun i have tried to persuade him to go without me and take the kids i think he is scared of having the kids by himself lol
i have heard of the airmiles but have never collected them worth thinking about take care
hugs jayne xx
