I am sure you all think I must have out of questions this month, no such luck....
Three years ago this week I was just returning from a great vacation, looking back it was the best two weeks I ever had, I went from here to The Rockies and back.
All on my own
Loved it!
I will most likely see this as the time when it all changed, I became the new me, the better me!
So I ask:
What is the best vacation you ever took?
OR
The moment in your life that you see as the turning point?

I've already blogged about my best vacation, but my turning point came the night N called me at work to ask me to take her to the hospital. When the emergency room nurse came to the waiting room and told me N wanted me to be with her and when I held N's hand as she fought the pain, I realized I was in love with her and had been for some time.

My best ever Holiday (vacation) was when I started in Toronto Canada, then went onto the USA, I visited cities such as including - LA, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Carlsbaad, Mexico (Tijuana) and ending in Hawaii. I was young, I was free, and I had an absolute ball.... It has a LOT of meaning for me, some not for the RIGHT reasons, but for the locations I visited ... I will DEFINITELY BE going back.
(Ps. Who are you passing the baton to??)

Don't have a wonderful vacation to blog about so I guess I will take the other question. Yikes..
Recently my mother passed away. When she died she left me the responsibility of closing her entire life out. Closing her accounts, seeing to her burial and making sure my siblings all were satisfied with what they received from her (not). When she died, I became an orphan..no parents to lean on anymore. Noone to run to..noone to have my back no matter what. I will now have to stand on my own two feet and use the knowledge they instilled in me to make all my choices and decisions. Though I have been an adult for a long time..losing both of my parents has been life altering.
peace :) shemelts

Honestly I think I am comming up on a turning point in my life now... I have had a few, each on brings a new challange. But I think I see another one comming. I guess I can call this realization.... a point when I remembered. A time when I stoped trying so hard and pushing forward so fast, and I sat and looked back at exactly what I have been running from. Face it head on tied up loose ends... and then back forward with a new out look.

I have just reached a turning point in my life....either I could continue to be unhappy, all of my own doing, or I could accept the changes and realize how happy I can be with it now being just me and my husband. I have never been as happy as I have felt this past week, everything has finally fallen into a place, and it's a place I really want to be!! I now look forward to the rest of my life instead of dwelling in the past.
My BEST vacation was last year with just my husband and I traveling to New Hampshire, Vermont and Upstate New York....it was heaven!!! :)

When I was 18, my ex-husband and I went on a road trip from Miami across the US. We drove anywhere that we pointed to on the map. We spent some time in Houston and El Paso. We drove to Pheonix and loved it. We even did some hiking in the grand canyon, some gambling in Vegas and spent some time in California. We spent a few days in Chicago and a few in New York City. It was the best trip I have had to date and it was when we got to know each other. I hope to some day be able to do something like this. I felt very free.

I don't do the vacation thing...but the turning point in my life would have to be the conception of my oldest daughter. I was 17 and my life was at a crossroads, continue as a punk for the rest of my life, or growup and accept that some stuff happened to me and move on, with that little life inside me I was inspired to be a better person, not only for myself but for her....

The best vacation I ever took... we'll 2 years ago I went on a 2 week sailing trip with my family to Belize. It was un-beliz-able. Lol. Silly. Anyway, it was an amazing place, and being on the boat out in the water, seeing dolphins, and just laughing with my family was the most fun I have had on a vacation. Although, there was the vacation I took to Vegas when I was 21. That was pretty fun, but Belize wins.

The biggest turning point in my life was when my childhood boy next door died of unknown causes. After flying back for the funeral, I re-evaluated my life and made some big changes including getting healthy and getting out of my loveless marriage, which many people were against my decision to divorce so I had to do that all on my own.

The best vacation I ever took would have to be NOT our trip to Oahu or Maui... Not Mexico. Not the many fancy ski resort trips. Not important historical sites either.
The best vacation was a weekend trip we took to a quiet cabin in the mountains. Dogs played in the river. People with their families sat river side, eating, sharing, talking. A band played in the town center... sending young children and old alike into dance.
We sat, ate ice cream and watched the dancing and the dogs and the smile. The sun was warm. It was simple. It was perfect!

I am going to be very cheesy now and say that every day is a holiday for me now, living at the seaside! Ever since I was a kid holidaying in Norfolk or Wales, I used to dream of a home by the sea and now I have it. Sure, the weather is crap...it rains, its cold and windy...but when I open my curtains in the morning and the waves are crashing against the rocks just yards away...it never fails to take my breath away.
Turning point in my life...the night I left my husband. I was lying in bed at my mums when I suddenly realised I was free, free to be happy, to love someone with all my heart, openly and honestly, and I knew everything was going to be okay.
Great question x

I went to New England (my dream place to live). I traveled all through the area hitting all the states. I fell in love with the people, the towns, and the quaintness of their lifestyle. If I could settle anywhere in the world....NEW ENGLAND!
I've had several turning points in my life. When I finally left Satan and started out on my own was a major one. When my dad passed away was huge for me. And when Scottie died was the most major one. I realized all the crap in the world doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. It's what we do with the time given here on earth. Good QOD!
