Rave: Tired of Boston weather, so I'm flying the family to Orlando for the Weekend.

Rant: Expedia. A plethora of miscue's on their part with booking. My computer was down so I called them to book the trip, they took it upon themselves to NOT issue my one year old a ticket. Their excuse was that" He didn't need one until he is two". Lesson learned is to never book via phone with expedia. If I had done it on line, at least I know it it would be my error.

Rave: Summer vacation starts today for my kids--now that they're older, I actually look forward to breaks, when we see them at least a LITTLE more!

Rave: I'm so proud of the wonderful people my two teens are becoming--watching their transformation into adulthood is humbling, to say the least

Rave: Dance recital tonight for DD, soccer tournament tomorrow for DS

Rant: DH has some sort of wretched sore throat/cloggy nose and throat thing and may miss both events

Big Rant: to the brave men and women that we're celebrating this weekend--thank you!

Happy Memorial Weekend everyone--travel safe!

Rave: Everybody's plans for summer fun!

More raves: Two grandchildren (8 and 12) will be with us next week. We're getting the fishing and ski boats ready.

We had a great spur-of-the-moment trip to New Orleans Monday to Wednesday. So much good food!

Friends coming over tomorrow night for barbecue and bonniebroad's wonderful potato salad.

Happy Long Weekend Everyone!

Rave: Fodor's friends! Last weekend's GTG was so much fun!

Have a great weekend! Trish
