Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hi Angie, I love road trips too and used to take them all the time. I would still like to do it if I could. Of course there's the gas prices too so I probably couldn't go anywhere even if I could drive for long distances. My son stays in hostels. He travels a lot and doesn't spend much money at all - I mean really doesn't. He says he sees people my age, 59, in them all the time. I haven't stayed in one yet, but may give it a try soon. My son, 31, drives me on vacations sometimes and treats me too. He's very frugal. It's a shame that it's who takes me places when he doesn't make much money and my daughters who make over $100,000 each don't take me anywhere. But I do love going places with . He is a special ed teacher for elementary school and because teachers don't earn much money he is a lab tech for the evening shift - to 11:00. I don't know how he makes it in Boston on what he makes but he finds all sorts of ways to cut back. I wish he lived down here in Connecticut so he would be closer but he really loves Boston.

Being in a large city with really busy highways, I really cannot get out. I will drive down the road to the pharmacy or grocery store on a " good " day. Thank goodness for our healthy, supportive spouses. My munchkins have fur ;-). Annie in TN Loest wrote: > > Hi , > > You are one busy guy!!! I am interested in the one about muscle pain since that seems to be my major issue right now. When I can drive again (if I can) I need to get out to a used bookstore too!! > > Thanks for sharing and hugs, > Annie in TN > > Busy as a bee, primary stay at home parent with only1 child,(I tip my hat to those parent with 2 or more munchkins to look after. I'm lucky my wife is around to drive, especially at night. I have a small pickup that has been parked in the driveway since last year to give you an idea about how long it's been since I drove on a regular basis. ------------ --------- --------- --- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
