Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

between a vacation and a trip are so eloquently stated here!

Great job, Elizabeth!

Thanks, but that column was largely a quote, taken by permission, from a thread here two years ago. I was so stressed getting ready for my trip that I wrote Mary Ellen and asked her if I could quote. She graciously agreed. So, Mary Ellen pretty much wrote the column.

On a trip mom does everything she does at home but less conveniently in unfamiliar surroundings.


This is so true...I was just telling this to a dear friend who was in the middle of her first "trip" with an 11 month old.

LOL. thank you for my laugh for the day. I have been on many many trips and a few vacations.

right now it is a toss up. I do get to drink fruity drinks delivered by nice atractive people, but I also get ot wip off that ketchup! LOL.

I am ready for real life again. living out of a suitcase for 6 weeks is over rated.
