I love visiting other places and soaking up the atmosphere. However, I'm the one in the family challenged with organising absolutely everything. I do my homework and I'm told that I always make good choices, but it's a big responsibility.
We usually take my parents with us and they say they are happy to go along with whatever we decide. My Dad is always very easy going, but my Mum can be a complete nightmare, especially where food is concerned. We were in Canada a few weeks ago and finding places to eat was really stressing me out. My husband is vegetarian and the only meat I eat is fish, but we are really easy to please other than that and never have problems finding something to eat anywhere we go. But, my Mum, who apparently eats anything, is actually a real fuss pot. We were in a food court and I suggested getting pitas, filled with whatever we liked. That was fine for 3 of us (daughter would only eat from Subway during the whole holiday), but my Mum's face screwed up and said she was going for something else. So, I went to another counter with her (she can't seem to order without help), where she saw a wrap, filled with chicken, ready made with salad, etc. It was practically the same as what she would have gotten at the pita counter, only difference being that she could have chosen exactly what went into it. She could not see that pita=wrap=bread. When she gets something that she's not too happy with, I feel like I'm getting the blame. I suggested it afterall (well nobody else makes any suggestions, so it's always me).
So, I'm currently looking into arranging a holiday in October. The Lake District is looking likely, as it's south but not too far. Sorry SteelMaiden, but we do like it there.
