Brown eyed Susan - because my name is Susan and I have brown eyes - so very creative, eh? I don't post on this board very often. I mostly post on other relationship boards trying to help those in abusive situations to find their way out or, at least, over to this board.

I guess you can tell by the "eh?" that I'm a proud Canadian. School does not end here until June 29th. I live about an hour outside Toronto toward Niagara Falls.

My most memorable summer vacation as a child is actually two. One year, when I was 11, my parents took us 4 kids (7,9,11,13yrs)camping all over the east coast of Canada. The next year we did the same thing, out to the west coast. Six of us in the wood panelled station wagon with a car-top, tarped, wooden box and a small pop-up tent trailer. I learned all about my country and the people and I'll never forget all the things we did and tour we took. Moments you never forget. My mom freaked when we were in the car and a bear was climbing on the car roof - "It's going to chew my suitcase! Honey do something!" Like the bear really was after her clothes and my Dad would actually wrestle a suitcase from a hungry bear. Oh.....the flaming marshmallow that my brother was waving around, trying to extinguish. Well, the flame did go out as it flew off the stick directly onto the top of my Mom's beaufont (sp?) hair-do. All the silly "historical plaques" we hunted for that my family, to this day, refers to as 'Hysterical sights'.

My dream?.......I'm doing it this summer. I've rented a motor home to take my boys camping (my version anyway) all over the east coast. We'll head out through Quebec and spend two weeks exploring New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.(Those are Canadian 'Provinces' - like your 'States') If time permits, we'll come home via Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York. My bf is coming with us and so is his 17 yr old daughter. It's going to be a blast. Next year hopefully 3 weeks and out to the Pacific.

The 'no kids' dream vacation is a Mediteranian Cruise. Ah....someday.

Keep looking up^, Susan.

I'm MakesMeHappy and live in the Ohio Valley area. I loved going camping with my girlfriends when I was a teen. Now I wouldn't dream of camping; just lounging on whatever beach at whatever ocean as long as it's hot and the sun is shining, preferably the Gulf.

Helloooo...!!! I had a mid-life crisis and moved from the Bay Area to Oregon about two years ago. It's BEAUTIFUL here but WET!

My most memorable vacation is the most recent one - About four years ago my hubby, kids, sister and her family took a Mexican cruise together, and I discovered I love eating and having people wait on me hand and foot!

I would love to visit Hawaii, Kauii in particular. I would love to see the rest of the US and England too.

Blessings,

Tofumommy
