My goodness this was a vacation full of great stories! We drove to Florida which is a two-day trip from Dallas because we like to have that time alone together and to see the countryside unfold. The purpose was to attend my nephew's wedding to a lovely girl of Bangladeshi descent.
About half of the stories are about the incredible inconveniences we encountered in travel, in lodgings, in things - essentially. Luckily, the other half of the stories — the more important half — are wonderful stories of all the people. We got to have a mini-family reunion with my brother and sister, with my sister-in-law's family who showed up in force (they are such great folks), and to spend quite a lot of time with the bride's family who were simply lovely and gracious. Those moments left us happy and with so many wonderful memories.
Thanks to modern technology, I was able to send my mother some photos every day for her "Skylight" - picture frame. She couldn't be there in person but she could follow along the activities a little that way. I never would have thought to take so many photos if I hadn't been wanting to let her share our experiences some. So that was beneficial in two ways!
We also discovered that having seen almost 200 Indian films gives you some credit that lets the conversations be very genuine and interesting. Which was also wonderful!
The happy couple is off to a good start and we came home with some very interesting stories!
