All I have to say is, THANK GOODNESS FOR MOTHERS!!
Pic from Oct 2009
I am sad to admit that I took for granted all of the vacations my mom planned for the family and the blood, sweat, and tears that went into them .... BUT I absolutely recognize and am thankful for it now, hah. That still counts right? My mom is a traveling queen considering she is a flight attendant and just really good at it. She traveled on a Tahitian Cargo ship just because, went to China by herself, and the Holy Land with a group from church. She is WILD to do all this and leave Dad at home, but hey why not!!!!!
She was in town for a Seattle overnight, which means we get a few hours to play, spend time together, and make a quick visit to Trader Joe's!!!!!! Plus, we got to Skype with the rest of my family .... Guess who isn't homesick anymore :)
SO, I mentioned to her I was extremely frustrated attempting to our trip to Thailand. I have been so excited about it, but I just feel like I can't make any strides because it is so difficult getting things to come together when it is on the other side of the world, and I hate the fact that I just can't pick up the phone and call someone without going through a travel agent.
WELL, Momma Lugar helped me out tremendously and shared with me a little site that I think is pretty heavenly. You better believe that I will be spending hours on it in the next couple days because it simplifies traveling and makes it easy! HECK YES!!!
The site is www.intrepidtravel.com
Hubby ......
you and me are officially PLANNING
and making HEADWAY on Thailand!
WOOHOO

Moms are great aren't they!
I'm jealous about your trip to Thailand! Do you think you could sneak me into your luggage?
Moms are simply the best.
They have the answers to EVERYTHING.!
Yay for Moms! Good luck planning!
I dont even want to think about the day when I have all of this on my back! I'm sure you will plan an absolutely fun and perfect trip! Cute boots in the picture too! :o)
wow too fun! good luck planning!
I have a favor to ask: I'm trying to win a party contest and would love your help! Would you go here: http://thecitycradle.com/party-3-spy-agent and leave a comment at the end of the article? Your comment will give me a vote. Thanks so much! I appreciate it lots. <3
ALSO, you're SOOO lucky with your travel! I want to travel really bad right now, lol. And I'm bookmarking that site. Thanks beautiful! :)
dud, no wonder your mom is an amazing planner. that's how my dad is -- but that's because he travels for business all the time. that man knows how to get in an airport and get out faster than anyone i've ever met.
What a fun trip! I have always wanted to go (and probably will at some point) so please take notes and share! I planned a trip to Japan for last week that fell through, but I always love a good long-distance travel plan.
Don't you just love Skype?! I have my niece and nephew (and bro in law etc) in Luxembourg so we use skype all the time. LOVE IT!
And yes thank heaven for moms:-) Cute photo
That's a sweet picture...and yes, Mothers are incomparable. As they say....'coz God couldn't be everywhere, He created Mothers!
WOOHOOO! Who doesnt love an awesome vacation!!??
So glad your mama could help you.
this looks like an awesome website! thanks to you...and your mom...for the tip!!!
Thanks for the travel site. I'll have to check it out. Traveling stresses me out too with all the planning and prep work. I was debating about a flight yesterday because I'll only have a 40 min connection and I'll be flying alone with Ava. I usually allow for 1-2 hours when I fly with just her. Good luck planning!
Oh how fun! Moms are the best :)
Glad you're no longer homesick!
Let me know if you need any inside info on Thailand- my sister lived there for 3 years:)
How wonderful - Thailand sounds awesome!! I'm going to check out that website.
Mom's really are the best :-) Have fun with the planning!
Moms really are the best! :)
Soooo exciting about Thailand!! that will be a blast!
Ooooh, a new travel site -- always good!
Glad things are looking up for you now!
We are going to Thailand in June. We booked everything through Journeys Within. http://www.journeys-within.com/
They have been so amazing and helpful. We have a full two weeks planned and I think it will be the best vacation of our lives! I can't believe what an amazing trip we have planned for what we are paying.
BUT I do have friends who have completely planned it on their own using websites - including agoda.com.
Good luck!!
Yay for Mama's and their helpful tips!! :)
Yeah for mama's....and for Thailand!!! woo-hoo
Mom's are great! Glad you got to spend some time with yours!
That's awesome about the trip! Mom's are great!
ooh la la a trip to Thailand, how fun!?
