Some of you have asked me about my mother's trip. She left last Wednesday. I had to be away from the house when the limo came, so we said our goodbyes earlier.
My stepson was in Bangkok at the time of the tsunami, and didn't leave an itinerary. We didn't know if he and his wife were safe. There was a great deal of discussion on the subject of leaving an itinerary with a family member when you travel. Despite that, Elegant Mother blithely went off without leaving an itinerary. Since she was traveling with my brother and his wife, I assume that I could track them through his company. It wasn't until she was gone, that it occurred to me it would have been nice if they'd left the information.
She is having such a great time that she has not called. I'm sure we will hear all about the trip when she returns Tuesday night. I'd say she lucked out. Their plane left just ahead of a small snow storm, and they will be coming back to relatively nice weather for February in Chicago. While it won't be as warm as Key West, it should be warm enough to melt off more snow.
I guess I'll just have to pass on the stories later in the week.
Oh...she's already announced that she WILL NOT be going to exercise on Wednesday morning. Anyone want to take any bets about Friday??

No bet, no bet. HH used to travel a great deal and always tried to let me know where he would be and how I could reach him. Little did he know that I completely ignored him. I figured that his secretary from work could always find him, so why should I worry? Good luck on getting your EM to go to the gym with you Friday.

Wise choice, Cop Car. I wonder if wanting to see her friends will outweigh the fact that she doesn't like exercise.
I'm sure that my brother figured I could get in touch with them by calling his office. Actually, he has his cell phone with him, so I could call if need be. I don't need to worry, but I've been doing it for so long that it's a difficult habit to drop.
