Ditto! And thanks for your sweet words. Now, take a look at the “Get Glassy” on the girlfriends getaways … are you up for it? It can be done in a weekend.

Amber – it’s definitley possible to travel even when your children are super young. You just have to adjust your expectations. We’ve done it since my daughter was born in 2002 and it’s made her a really great traveller by the age of 7. She’s been around the world 3 times already! But, spa time? Oh, I hear you! I highly recommend hitting Le Nordik. It’s only $42 for all-day access and there is a “quiet” policy. It’s heaven! Also, I’m working on an article right now for kid-friendly trips that are within driving distance from Ottawa, so that might help provide a few ideas for your family too. (It’s going to be published before March break.)

XUP – so excited for you! And I can’t wait to read all about it in your blog. The fact that a single mother can get away on a trip in her lifetime is a miracle in and of itself, so take pride in that!

Well, I’m pretty excited that I’m going to be visiting the place that’s been at the top of my travel destinations list for a while now. I don’t want to say anything else until closer to the date though. Also, after reading Melanie’s list, my little trip won’t seem all that interesting.

I have travel dreams, but my kids are still really small so this year they will be closer to home and kid friendly. But I plan to sneak away for some spa time. It’s pedestrian, but so appreciated. Having these little monkeys has really opened my eyes to the wonders of a space where everyone speaks quietly and walks slowly.

Julie, thanks for making my weekend by including my blog in your “5 best” list! My travel dreams for the year to come are big ones, and with your stamp of approval, they’re off to a great start! I’ll be in Jamaica, Maui, New York City and Costa Rica in the next few months, but I also hope to see Croatia, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Botswana. Hope our paths cross!
