Flying Around

Hello,



For his retirement, the congregation gave Leroy a nice amount of money. The suggestion was that he would use it toward a trip. Now we have booked a trip to Columbia in January. We know some people there and we will visit with them. Since we have never been to South American, it will be a new experience.



Every once in a while someone would ask if we had gone on any trips. The answer was no, but we did go to Salt Lake for Thanksgiving. I am not sure that was considered so much of a trip since our daughter lives there.



We are also planning another trip in February. We have both checked with bosses to make sure it is fine with them if we leave so much. We both have some vacation time that we can use. In fact I need to use more vacation time. So this will be good.



It does make us quite agitated or unsure when booking these trips. Or rather the Columbia one was an issue because for some reason it kept taking out the country that Leroy is a citizen of. Finally changing browsers made the difference and we were able to get the job done. Leroy could not handle it so I had to do the final bit. Unfortunately I have us coming home two days earlier than intended. When we looked at changing that return it made the cost quite a lot more. We figured that we can handle the shorter trip.



Such a first world problem! Not much in the whole scheme of life. Even though we can have a check in bag, I wonder if I can get it all in a carry on and a personal item. Seems to me packing for a summer spot should mean less bulk. I so like not to pick up bags. Leroy sounded a bit more hesitant, but then his clothes are bigger, because he is bigger?
