It was Cheryl's idea (but for different reasons than mine would be).

Tomorrow at 8:15 all four of us board a flight to Orlando for a week of entertainment at Universal Studios and Sea World. We've never taken a vacation such as this (other than our annual week kicking back at the beach) and Cheryl is like a kid again. The kids aren't sure they're gonna have much fun, but I just say, "Wait and see!!"

Truthfully I shouldn't have spent this money, but (and this is the dark part of this story) Cheryl was adamant about going this year 'cause she thinks this is the last year she'll be able. I refuse to accept that reasoning, but her plea was sufficient for me to arrange the funds.

My objective is to repeat this trip in a year or two, but without Cheryl's back pain and her having to rent the little electic cart!

See you guys in a week!

Later,

Phil

Have a blast! Do all the things you always thought were stupid! Tease the mascots! Let the dolphins spit water at you!
When you go back in 2 years....Do it all again. but this time bring a big plastic sheet and make the dolphin spit bounce right back on them!

When my daughter had cancer we went through the same thing- the money wasn't always as plentiful as it could be, and nobody wanted to think of it as some final experience, but we did start taking more time to do things together that might not have happened in the past, a shift of priorities. It was a good thing then, and a change that continues today. Time is the only real limit on our lives- we should invest more of it with those we love, and less in what is really nothing more than expressions of our day-to-day existence. Have a great time, build memories, and leave the guilt behind. ;)

I think that is the best thing you can do right now. Get out and enjoy the time together.
