It sounds like things are going well. Next thing you know, W's MLC complaint will be, "You're always asking people to DOOOOOOOOO things and we never stay home!" My H is in a bit of a MLC himself, so it's interesting to see the contradictory things he says he wants.

SUPER cool on the "real" vacation thing. The beach is always good for relaxing and having a good time. As for the yaking women, put on a good CD and sing along in your head. Think about what you were doing this time last year. Turn their conversation into a TV sitcom. All kinda ways to amuse yourself!

BTW, HAVE you gone back to read your threads from a year ago? I read mine last week. What a difference. It cemented how far I've come...I highly recommend it, especially since your W pokes her alien head out from time to time still.

Enjoy your trip, and remember that a happy, relaxed W is a nookie-giving W!
