Though that was 20 years ago, and I think if I went now, it would feel a bit different too ... I may have to think about and post on this to try to explain what I mean. I appreciate though, you calling me on this.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-16598444516113769342015-12-17T14:01:48.224+13:002015-12-17T14:01:48.224+13:00I just learned the word "bach."

Let's say you had kids and they grew up and were in college -- would you feel out of place during those years? And if no, why out of place now?<br /><br />I guess I was one of those people who went to Disney without kids and never felt odd, mostly because I assume that people go to places for all different reasons, even ones that are traditionally kid-centric. Why else would they have the ability to get married at Disney if it wasn't a big spot for those without kids, too?Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-79018071138253313272015-12-16T17:39:11.778+13:002015-12-16T17:39:11.778+13:00Having not had a proper vacation in many years, I ...Having not had a proper vacation in many years, I envy your being able to get away.

It makes for a quieter and sometimes cheaper excursion. Hubs usually cedes school holiday time off at work to those with kids. Suits us most of the time.<br /><br />Summer in the south – sand and sea and surf and cricket and ice cream and long balmy days and a neighbourhood of kids amongst it all. I understand your sensitivity about feeling out of place. There’s always that little pinprick hanging around in the back of your mind just waiting to burst the bubble and let reality come gushing back in no matter where you happen to be.<br /><br />A beautiful pic. That sand certainly is white. Glad to hear the sweet moments were plentiful...Kathryn<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-58151869002244994442015-12-15T14:22:22.414+13:002015-12-15T14:22:22.414+13:00That looks amazing, and I'm glad there were mo...That looks amazing, and I'm glad there were more sweet moments than out-of-place moments. Were there no couples without children? Do they do timeshares in New Zealand? Maybe you could do something during the school year. It just seems like such a paradise, one you could enjoy the two of you. I get the feeling of being "other" though, it's not pleasant. I hope you were able to find rejuvenation despite that feeling.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-76427958101825441612015-12-15T13:55:41.147+13:002015-12-15T13:55:41.147+13:00Glad to hear that! :) I imagine I would feel somew...Glad to hear that! :) I imagine I would feel somewhat the same way about visiting Disney World. ;) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-86443565858378462602015-12-15T08:50:44.163+13:002015-12-15T08:50:44.163+13:00Far more sweet moments than out-of-place moments, ...Far more sweet moments than out-of-place moments, I am happy to report.
