Why are you traveling?
Personally, I have wanted to go on a cruise over the past twenty years. Convincing my husband was the biggest obstacle I faced. I didn’t want to travel on my first cruise without my best friend. Sure, I’ve taken vacations without him with my children and my mother-in-law. We’ve traveled to Galveston several times for beach vacations. However, I wanted my first international trip to be with my husband.
I wish that I could say that I finally convinced him to take a cruise with me, but his employer takes the credit on this one. He was forced to go on a cruise for work. Of course, he felt guilty that I didn’t get to travel with him, so he booked a cruise for the two of us when he returned. I’m totally ok with my first cruise being a “guilt trip”. I’m just glad that he relaxed enough to realize that he could do it again.
I’ve had co-workers, friends, and family tell me about their cruises. Over the years, I have heard enough to know that I want to travel this way too.
Teaching is a stressful profession. I have found that sometimes just having a vacation planned is enough to keep me going when the stress gets to be too much.
