  1. I bet you know how I feel about vacationing without my spouse! Right now he’s heavily involved with Boy Scouts, so that’s where all of his PTO goes. When the rest of my family goes to Boy Scout camp, I go somewhere by myself and for myself and it’s wonderful. Once he’s done with Boy Scouts we’ll have our trips together again.

  2. i’d totally vacation without my spouse. i did that last year when i went to germany for the marathon. I spent 3 days with my best friend in Bolzano, and then berlin alone. It gives so much freedom to oneself, and the sense of individuality comes back naturally, reminding me who I am beyond mother, wife, colleague. I should have that every year :)
    had fun going through running lingo.. first time heard about it. :)

  3. I am taking my first “vacation” without Phil this summer – I’m meeting my friend Amber for a girls trip in the Banff region of Canada! It will be my first girls trip since getting married! I’m really excited. He’s doing a golf weekend with friends this summer, too. We enjoy traveling together but also like having our time with friends!

    I am a side sleeper. Sleeping on my back would be tough as I am embarrassingly prone to snoring. So out of respect for Phil, I sleep on my side!

    1. So excited that you’re going to take a trip to meet up with Amber! Vacationing with friends can be so awesome.

      I am mostly a side sleeper too… I think most people fall into their natural sleeping position and it might be hard to change it .

  4. I am new to vacationing without my family. I usually have either my husband, my daughter, or both with me. Back in 2016 I went to Oregon to celebrate my step-mom’s birthday, and they couldn’t make it. It was a very different trip. I missed them, but loved the freedom of being there without them. Since then, I went to Washington DC with my step-mom and my sister in 2019, to Los Angeles with my BFF in 2020, and to France with my cousin in 2022. I must say, only paying for myself instead of all 3 of us is much cheaper! This year we are going on a family vacation, which we need to start planning. We’re going to Alaska to visit my brother and SIL. My daughter has been before, but she was very little and doesn’t remember it. My husband hasn’t been before.

  5. I have been away without my husband, but usually with other family members.

    I’m a side sleeper and hate sleeping on my back. I went to an Osteo last year and he said to make sure my lower leg was straight when I slept and the other just slightly bent so that my neck wasn’t pulled forward and that worked a dream to stop me from waking up with a headache.

    All those photos of paninis! YUM! We’re going to Bologna later this year so I think some Italian panini will be part of my near future.

  6. Wow San, you have some great links here! I LOVE the “do no harm” article- that’s worth re-reading again and again. And I want that roasted fennel dish RIGHT NOW. It looks really delicious.
