Family Christmas Together in Rocky Point Mexico 2008


Minor Family Christmas 2008

Minor Family Christmas 2008

My family has never been on vacation together since we all became adults with our own families.  So a year ago we made it a goal to be together for Christmas 2008.  We had a great time in Rocky Point Mexico ~ Puerto Penasco.  We had the entire beach to ourselves.

Our original plans were to go on a Mexican cruise, but due to the horrible economy no one wanted to start 2009 with more debt hanging over their heads than they had to. It wouldn’t have been an issue if we all lived in Southern California and could just drive on over to San Pedro to board the cruise ship, but our family is spread around.  I’ve got a brother in Chandler Arizona and another in Wichita Kansas.  Mom, Dad, my family and youngest brother live in California.

I being the only daughter without children have no problem traveling at a whim (I also work for an Airline) but when you have 3,4 or 5 to make travel arrangements for things get a little expensive.

Sure there’s been times where a couple of us have enjoyed time together but as Mom put it, she and Dad aren’t getting any younger and since everyone’s health is good, let’s not let this time together pass.  Using our Money Merge Account to check on the true cost of our trip allowed us to know that we weren’t spending too much and boy was that a good feeling going and coming.  Mele Kalikimaka

Judith, It is great to see that your adult family took the time to vacation together. This is a dream I have for my four brother and sisters who always seem to be too busy. Our mother and father have passed on, so its important to stay connected.

PS. You have a great range of interesting topics on your blog. I like your use of videos.

Happy New Year Joseph,

We almost delayed our plans and I’m glad we didn’t. I don’t think our family has felt so much love since this trip. We call each other at least once a week just to say hi. I hope you and your family make it a goal like we did. Aloha.
