lord alfred douglas Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Ft myers BEACH... My parents own a place on the beach there. ;-)that may be but that doesnt mean it doesnt suck
lord alfred douglas Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I've been to Fort Meyers a few times...its nice in a bring a book way. D is bringing her language cds so its perfect! And she will be all blonde and healthy tan looking for her interview. so flying 2000 miles to read a book sounds like a wise course of action to you?
lord alfred douglas Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 He gets around. I have to stop by and say goodbye before i leave tomorrow Ill never be back you know (i think)
Nemo Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Ill never be back you know (i think) Never say never. Again.
Surfer Girl Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I too am going away for Christmas... I spent 48 years with the family... And Mom is very upset... I felt the same way... I needed the break, wanted to do what I felt I needed to do.... This year I just felt I needed me time.... I got the guilt trip from the family and it has been a living nightmare to actually say I won't be home for Christmas... To me.... being away from the traditions, all the expectations is an experience I want.... Basking in the sun... not having to worry about obligations and doing whatever I want whenever I want is a freedom I yearn... It is an opportunity I feel I need to experience.... This year I am loathing the traditional Christmas that I have done for 48 years.... For a change, it is about what I want to experience... Whether it turns out good or bad... we both are willing to make it happen....

Author D-Lish Posted December 19, 2008 Author Posted December 19, 2008 so flying 2000 miles to read a book sounds like a wise course of action to you? It's a CD actually. ;-) Ft Myers beach is beautiful. Ft Myers (not so beautiful) And yes, it seems like a great idea to me. Relaxing and spending some alone time for a week, do some shopping.
audrey_1 Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Wow, wish I'd thought of this. Sun and sand for x-mas is a brilliant idea! This year has been a bit of a downer for me, too, and I've been spending a lot of time in my head lately mulling it all over. Instead, I took the liberty of planning a get-together of "old friends" who found each other on a social networking tool. Next Friday should be interesting. I hope you have a great time!
sedgwick Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 YES! Go to Florida! Beach beach beach! I ran off to Mexico alone after my breakup. I figured if I was going to cry all the time, I'd do it on the beach. It helped.
Star Gazer Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 My mom and I are going out of town to "avoid" being at home without my grammy this year (you might recall she passed in October). I think there's nothing wrong with it, or with your trip.
melodymatters Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Sounds great D !!! I always mix up the holidays, with some being spent with family, and some just being chill ( and I've lived by the beach for the last 5 yrs) I think it sounds like a lovely adventure, almost like the first scene in a book or movie. Go and "get your Groove Back", Stella !
Author D-Lish Posted December 19, 2008 Author Posted December 19, 2008 I booked it for Monday 22nd until the 28th. I can't wait. I think it's a fitting end to a rough year.
flc Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 The weather has been spectacular, its 81 right now and I should be at the beach. I get to go to Chicago next week for Christmas so I am digging out my sweaters and parka.
Author D-Lish Posted December 19, 2008 Author Posted December 19, 2008 The weather has been spectacular, its 81 right now and I should be at the beach. I get to go to Chicago next week for Christmas so I am digging out my sweaters and parka. That's awesome weather... I checked the forecast and it said 75-80 all week, the only day of rain is x-mas day ;-( I spoke to a friend of mine and told him I was going and he got so judgemental. Basically said he has lost respect for me because I am not spending time with my family!
Trialbyfire Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I spoke to a friend of mine and told him I was going and he got so judgemental. Basically said he has lost respect for me because I am not spending time with my family! That's silly to lose respect for someone over something like this. Maybe he's just pushing your buttons. My parents are going away for Christmas for the first time, ever. While I'm pouting and whining for selfish reasons, there's no loss of respect, just childish snivelling. Have a great time on your trip!
openbook08 Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 whoop de whoop D-Lish!! wish i could do the same. off ya go enjoy yourself theres so many exciting things coming up for you in 2009 by the sounds of it so enjoy the calm before the (good) storm!! ps : you are too pretty for life! so smile, enjoy and relax bon chance!
Author D-Lish Posted December 19, 2008 Author Posted December 19, 2008 Thanks guys! I don't know what is wrong with my friend- he was truly mad...said I was crazy, that xmas is family time and I am acting like a spoiled brat. ? I also spoke to the Irish guy I just broke up with. I feel a bit better. We actually sorted some things out. We are going to meet up when I get back and talk. I'll be nice and tanned!! lol.
Meaplus3 Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I booked it for Monday 22nd until the 28th. I can't wait. I think it's a fitting end to a rough year. I'm glad to see your choosing to go. I'm sure it will be a nice break for you. Have a great time D-lish. I wish you all the very best in the coming year. BTW.. if you can send a little warm weather to NY..I'd appreciate that. Enjoy. Mea:)
Jenny123 Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Hi D-lish, I went on holidays when I broke up with my ex-it helped distract but didn't take away the pain- I stared into space most of the holiday. It will help just a bit but won't take the pain away. I'm an airhostess myself- you'll have a ball-best years of my life travelling:) Good luck!

Thankfully, I only dated the guy for 2 months. I'm sad about it, but I think I'll probably drown my sorrows in some of the local surfer dudes. I hope I get the job... It would be great! I see you are from Ireland- the dude I am running away from is over here from Ireland... lol. He's a short hairy little monkey but I fell for him hook, line and sinker (the accent maybe?) lol. It's more about ending a really rough year by doing something radical. It's not just him I want to get away from, it's everything.
Jake Barnes Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Never say never. Again.Im in Tallahassee. Ive almost made it out
