Seperate Vacations?

So Neil is off work this week. He's been wanitng to turkey hunt for quite sometime,and was able to take 2 paid days off this week. With his work schedule, it winds up being hes off an entire week. Hes happy about that. Me,not so much,lol.
Today though, He has taken to the woods with one if his BFF's, Tido. Hunting can cost as much or as least as you want it to,and fortunatly for us, its on the cheap end. Hes already got his gear and guns. and AMmo even. Theres public land he can hunt on for free, and today he and Tido are hunting on a friends of his place. So free again. ANd Neil is a happy man. I was glad to get rid of him too. Not "Leave and never come back,this aint working", But "go,have a good time, get out of my hair,and chill out doing something that makes you happy.". As Ive stated before,I dont do the cold,and its been chilly the past few mornings. But hes in heaven. I have not given him some long "honey Do" list either. I want him to mow the grass and finish the clothesline. ANd Friday,hes driving me to the dentist to have some work done. Just normal husband stuff. I wanted him to go off and relax and have fun. Last night he slept on Tido and Tam's couch,and Im sure didnt take a shower to go ruslte up some gobblers. For his sake,and my taste buds, I really hope he gets one this year.
But it got me to thinking. He and I have taken seperate vac's pretty much the whole time we've been toghether. Its been a timing and money thing. and me cancelling our family vac to go to Cali. {I still feel kinda bad about that,but he assures me NOT to.} It seems to work for us. We have similar interest, I think its a must in a marriage. But we also have diffrent ones too. I like to travel, he likes to take to the woods on a cool morning. But we both love to fish. and are both outdoorsy ppl. So it works for us.
We are planning our ultimate Cruise vacation for next March. Ive been scouring the internet for info on them. And Ive even asked, if we can afford one, if I can go on a ladies only cruise next Oct. As in OCt 2010.Theres a group Ive joined on cruise critic and we're trying to find one we can all agree on for then. Neil has told me to "Tear Out". So Yay. I just hope me and 2 of my firends can afford it. But we have time to save,so it will all be good.
So Seperate Vacations seem to work for us around here. I go when hes working,and most of the time my kids, at least one of them are with me. I cant leave my babies for too long.
