We travel. Between trips my life is up and then down and then up and then down. This is a blog about my trips and ups and downs. I don't expect anyone to read this but I will enjoy writing it!!

My Vacation Pictures
As you all know Bill and I travel. We use a combination of car rentals and cruises and cruise excursions. As we travel, I post my favourite pics on facebook so those people I am friends with can look if they want to.
But, there is one thing I have learned in all this travel. Other than the facebook format, people (with a very few exceptions) just don't want to see your pictures or hear your stories. I have watched poor Bill over the last few weeks try to tell people some of his stories and show some of his pictures...to glazed eyes and bobble head nodding or outright "Not now, I don't have time right now but later for sure" And later never comes.
This is totally ok with me and I truly get it. I am not writing this to make any of our closer peeps who may be reading this feel bad. It is just a fact, plain and simple.....other peoples' vacations are just that....other peoples' and unless you were there or going to be there..who cares? So....
When we got home, I went through all our pictures and through a very laborious process I narrowed the pictures down to four. These four pictures represent four different parts of our trip. I sent the jpeg off to PosterJack (the best picture maker in Canada) and had them enlarged and printed on canvas. They look fabulous and they are hanging front and centre in our living room. Now....when people come around, Bill will be able to tell four stories to people without their eyes going vacant and their heads bobbing up and down, up and down!!! I shall post those four here! But if you want to know where they were taken and why, well you will just have to come for coffee and ask Bill.
