LOL- read NikkiB's story. Actually, there are all sorts of stories like this on the board.
The one theme I keep reading, though, is not to expect a Hollywood ending where they throw themselves into your arms, profess undying love and then you and your spouse live happily ever after. First problem-most WAS are embarrassed and probably want to save face to a degree. Second problem-LBS is going to be very angry for all the hurt inflicted by the WAS. It's not until the 'crisis' is over that the LBS can start to process that anger. Also, obviously, there was something wrong with the marriage to begin with, so all of that has to be worked thru, too. *sigh* sounds a little daunting.
Take lots of pictures of your trip and maybe you can post some them on flickr.com or some such place. I would love to live vicariously through you. Since H and I agreed to not buy anything during this time, I could never get away with an exotic trip...unless I used $$ out of my nest egg to do it. It might be worth my sanity to do it; but I might want to be able to buy a new set of couches more.... Maybe pics from your trip would inspire me!
