I want to take my boys on vacation at some point - they are 11 and 15 right now. I feel lost w/o the other adult to help me here. I always looked forward to our trips - my last one was Florida in Spring 2006 - STBX told me not to plan one for 2007 (he already knew he wanted out at that point and I did not have a clue), so I used my vacation days just to be with the kids at home. Summer 2007 we didn't go anywhere because I had taken so many days for court and mental-health days after stbx left that I am running out of time. Now I am building up my time again and want to go somewhere in January - give him the kids for Spring Break 2008 - and take a week in the summer with the kids. I just don't know where I can go that would be relatively budget-friendly. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I have taken several small road trips with my boys since HE left. I admit to feeling a bit intimidated at first but you get over that. Sometimes taking a few small trips is more fun than one really long one.
Once you find your location - look for hotels that offer weekly rates instead of nightly ones. (surburban lodge is one of them - $215 for the week and it comes equipped with a kitchenette)
I have 3 boys = 7, 10, & 14 and have always wanted to go skiing - but was waiting for the youngest to get old enough to enjoy it. If I wait any longer - the oldest will be off at college. I spoke to a friend who skis frequently to find the best bang for the buck. Turns out her family is going the same week I planned to. She invited us along to join them. We will caravan 18 hours and stay across the hall from them. I have to admit I feel much safer taking such a long trip knowing there will be someone looking out for us in case we get into trouble.
Good luck in your planning. It is never too soon to make memories with your family - even if it is minus one.
