It’s My Imagination

More Travel Ahead

I will be leaving tomorrow to head east to see my niece graduate from nursing school. She’s worked long and hard to complete her studies and internships and I think it’s the least the family can do to be there to celebrate her accomplishment with her. I’m traveling alone, I didn’t want to take my daughter out of school for this, and will be meeting up with both of my sisters and my mom tomorrow. I’ll be gone until Sunday, if my flight comes in on time, I’ll be able to go out and get Mother’s Day desert with my daughter and husband when they pick me up at the airport.

I return on Sunday and my husband is leaving Monday morning. He will be heading out on yet another business trip, this time he’s going to Toronto, Canada. He hasn’t had to travel for a few weeks and it’s been nice to have him home. Sometimes his travel schedule is so busy, it’s been nice having him home. Most of his travel is state side, but occasionally, he does leave the country for Mexico or Canada. Once or twice a year he also travels to Europe or Asia. I’m glad he’s not going that far this time.

I remember him traveling before cell phones were attached to us on a daily basis. It was always so hard to be apart knowing we would have very little contact. Now, with the popularity of cell phones, staying in contact is so much easier. We don’t have a land line at home, so we have to rely on our cell phones and international calls on cell phones can be way too expensive. We’ve discovered that using phone cards for international calls is actually a great way to save on the expense.

Just thinking about all the travels we’re doing over the next few weeks makes me tired. I’ll be glad we things settle back down!

How about you?  Do you or your spouse travel much?  How do you stay in touch?
