Green

July 25, 2005

Feelin’ a little envious today.

I just found out my cousin and his wife are backpacking through Europe. They are DINKs (Double Income No Kids) so they have one thing I most certainly do NOT have—flexibility.

They just pick up and go whenever they darn well please, spendin’ money like they’ve got no one to support besides themselves (which they don’t) and then being so kind as to give the rest of us a blow-by-blow description of every one of the 5 THOUSAND countries they are visiting on their month-and-a-half-long European tour (which they can take, of course, because they are both teachers and have the entire summer off).

Apparently it’s their last big hurrah before having kids. If I remember correctly, our last big hurrah before having kids was a trip to Taco Bell.

No, I am not bitter. I’m just mad I’m not as smart.

    That is the reason why we are blogging Amy so everyone can enjoy a “vacation” from their own computer while sitting at home. And you don’t have to be all sweaty with bed head, hungry, and lugging a backpack around. Plus it is free. Or you can look at it as if we are doing a trial run and telling you what to visit and not visit WHEN you do make it to Europe. Chow the DINKS ;)

    LOL! My DINK-y in-laws are European and their last hurrah before having kids (#2 expected next month) was hiking a little bit of Yosemite.
