Exactly what I've been thinking... but I think she's gonna be okay, because January is coming up fast. So she can "stay in the zone", emotionally!

Didn't happen last fall when she had those two trips close to one another, but I shall remain optimistic!

Well, if you'll recall... she didn't go into her depression until after the second trip... Yeah, I would remain optimistic.

That was really cool. I definitely enjoyed the different perspective a live trip report offered.
I have to say that B-babe definitely has had amazing luck with flying since a 30 minute flight delay is pretty much nothing. I've had delays of hours, cancellations (rebooked for days out), and aborted take-offs. I too share the same feeling that b-babe had upon return home. The minute our plane lands and we get off the plane I really feel like I never left and what I had been living the past "x" days was just a dream.

The boilers could always consider this as their "test drive" for their January 2012 trip...

It was fun hearing everything as it was happening. It will probably help jog b-babe's memory when she writes her trip report too!
Add me to the list of can't believe someone has traveled as much as she has and never had a delay

I've always gotten where I need to go in one piece and within a day or two of when I was supposed to so I won't complain. My backpack had far worse luck getting lost between Dubai and Australia for over a week once.
I wonder if there would be any interest in a study of the effects of vacation being washed away as soon as you return?

Excellent trip report M-Dude! Since you didn't get to go, I'm sure the texts and pics made it almost real for you. Thanks for keeping us updated as I enjoyed the "real time" updates, even though I had to catch-up all at once.
Awesome trip as usual Boilers. I am sorry that I could not join you as we were planning. I look forward to the full fledged report whenever you get the chance!

Howdy Sub family! I'm baaaack! Missed everyone! A HUGE thank you to M-dude for doing our "real time" trip report! That was so awesome, u rock! Drinks at La Cava in Jan!

I will suffer serious withdrawel after our Jan. trip. I was absent for a few days here after this trip b/c B-dude and I returned right to work on Wed. and I had to work the weekend, talk about hitting a brick wall upon returning!
I will be posting a report with pics. but I don't know if I can compete with B-dude's report?! Seriously, he did an awesome job! I did keep a journal on this trip, so I can elaborate a little more, I think?! If nothing else, post more pics!!! I hope to get started on my report tomorrow, after my run!

Welcome back Boilers. It's good to see you back on here so soon this time. I look forward to the full report even if it happens to involve the purchase of the bear who must not be named.

Oh goodie! It will be so much more fun to have M-dude there to help select some clothes for Duffy

Hmmmmmm, should we get concerned that B-babe can't tell M-dude and B-dude apart? I mean, the two of them could pass for twins...

Now that you mention it, she does seem to confuse the two of them a lot
