a MONTH and NO A/Well deserved vacation!/Pen Pal Club INFO!
Permalink  

Well, tomorrow will be 4 weeks since the last time my A and I were together. Have not spoken to him either. I cried my eyes out for hours last night. Praying, crying, releasing...healing.


I decided to give myself a break.  Escape from this small little Ohio town and head for the ocean. So I booked a hotel at Myrtle Beach for July 16, 17, 18. I am taking my kids (son 6 and daughter 17) alone, never done this before! It is a 12 hour trip, I am getting my "trip tik" from AAA today...I am SOOOOOO excited AND really really nervous.


Just wanted to share that with all of you, I am posting later today, if time allows, been at work ALONE all week and the office has been super busy.


IF anyone has been to Myrtle Beach lately, can recommend some good restaraunts or warn me of the bad ones...fun stuff to do, etc PLEASE respond, email me or PM me...


I am putting all the addresses in an email for everyone participating in the "pen pal club" this Sunday, if you have not done so yet and would like to "join" then email me the following:



  • real name

  • "snail" mailing address

  • birthday, AlAnon anniversary date, etc

BY SUNDAY to prolife_jen@yahoo.com


You all take care and have a great day!


JEN

Oh! Good for you!!! Myrtle Beach was a vacationing spot for me when I was a child and would go with my grandparents. Some of my fondest memories are our summers there! I was too young to actually note the 'spots' of interest. I just enjoyed the escape from home!


You are making some wonderful memories for your children! Enjoy yourself! You deserve it!

"taking care of you" can take many forms, but that is very cool what you are doing....  I think treating yourself to a trip to Myrtle Beach is a fantastic idea, and one that you definitely deserve....


A month of 'no contact' is no small feat, and hopefully you can look at such timelines as great indicators of just how far you have come....  I remember your posts from a month ago, and you didn't think you were capable of breathing/living for a minute, let alone a month, without your A.   Funny how we "grow" in this program, and then all of a sudden, we take stock of where we are, and we are well on our way to recovery!!


Have an awesome time!!


Tom

Good for you Jen on your vacation.  Sounds like an excellent idea to rejuvinate.  I love getting away and the time away fromt the daily hum drum can really boost clarity and help you come to some awesome resolutions in your life.  Hmmm... sounds like I'm talking myself into a break as well.  Thanks for the inspiration today.  Your doing awesome.


Hugs,


Twinmom~

I LOVE MYRTLE BEACH - ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE VACATION SPOTS.


I am always skimping by on a tight budget so usually just enjoy the beach & pools where I stay.  However, I have been to the aquarium down there.  It is at the "Hollywood on the  Beach" (I think that is what it is called, I always get it confused - been a few years).  Anyway, the aquarium was pretty awsome as well as everything else that surrounds it....set up w/shopping and restaurants and entertainment.  This place used to have & may still have a lazer light show in the evenings, which was really cool.  The Hard Rock Cafe is there if you are interested in that....one time I was there & Kevin Bacon & his band were playing there.  Neat!


As far as seafood goes....we always buy our fresh seafood & cook it back in our room.  Cheaper that way.


So anyway....go & have a great time...try to hit the little Go Carts place too & race the kids....awesome  fun.
