In spite of my pain and misery I decided to hitch a ride with 2 of my sisters (trying to reconnect with one of them) to Fla and stayed in a condo on the beach from 6-20 to 6-30 and I have paid for it since! 30 hours in a car with 4 screaming kids (that I was not told was going) played havoc with my back and I have spent 80% of my time in bed since! I did go shopping one day and bought a hot pink strapless shorty dress and a olive green bikini and went to the beach one day and one night! Otherwise I stayed in bed crying over my puppy that I had to leave behind ( I did not tell Dh that was who I cried for but its the truth) so I tried, but if I ever do another vacation, # 1 ,I will fly, and # 2, I will take my furbaby if I have to go alone
