Oh Where, Oh Where Does The Little Dog Go?

VacationMy husband and I used to make all types of excuses as to why we could not go on trips. That is until we checked out our bank statements and realized with the money we spent on gifts for birthdays and holidays, clothes, and native attractions such as fairs and avenue carnivals, we could have saved for a household vacation and made long lasting recollections.

About a third of the ladies had already booked the retreat and had been common meditators, whereas the remaining 70 had no historical past of meditating. Half of the non-meditators have been randomly assigned to the yoga/meditation program and the other half were randomly assigned to vacation only. Good back end housekeeping and upkeep portals. (my cleansing groups’ really just like the system) They are a bit confusing at first and I think an internet tutorial would assist prepare housekeepers.

Bonus vacation or choppy nightmare? Here’s what it’s like on a cruise ship stuck at sea during a hurricane

There’s always a possibility of bad weather and rough seas when you go on a cruise, but cruise lines are well prepared to change course if an approaching storm could be too dangerous to navigate. There are also contingencies if they are unable to return to port as scheduled. Right now, all those playbooks have been dusted off and are in use.

On Monday, Sept. 26, as Hurricane Ian was closing in on Florida, Disney Wish left Port Canaveral for a four-night Bahamas cruise with planned stops at Nassau and Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line’s private island, before a planned return to Port Canaveral on Friday, Sept. 30.

Turkish tourists prefer Balkan countries for vacation

Balkan countries are the foremost choice of Turks for holidaying thanks to visa liberalization, geographical proximity, cultural partnership, affordability and low exchange rates.

“The Balkans are very attractive to Turkish tourists as they offer visa-free travel, are affordable, and are close to Türkiye,” said Muhammet Ali Köprü, the head of a tour operator company, Malitur. He noted that while tourism has been one of the most affected sectors by the pandemic, the demands have reached high levels with the normalization.

Underlining that the Balkans is a popular destination in all seasons, Köprü said: “Turkish citizens prefer countries that do not require visas for an easier holiday. The Balkans is the optimum choice for historical and cultural travels, rather than the classic beach vacation.”

Köprü also pointed out that it is very possible to come across many Ottoman artifacts in cities such as Sarajevo, Skopje,

Ask Amy: My brother lives in the family vacation home year-round

Dear Amy: Our five family members share ownership of a remote rural summer home. By agreement, each member can stay there up to two weeks a year.

Eighteen months ago, our brother became unemployed, unhoused, and has been staying in this house year-round, reluctantly leaving (late) when the other partners go for their annual vacation time.

Our brother has three dogs that are not house trained. When we go down “to open the cabin for the season” we end up throwing away rugs, pillows, deodorizing furniture, and cleaning up our brother and his dog’s messes. Our brother has hoarding tendencies.

He has not offered to do maintenance projects in lieu of rent, and the house and grounds have fallen into disrepair. He does not reply to our emails or phone calls and when we try to deal with him in person, he becomes very defensive and brings up childhood

Dating the same guy? These women were. They dumped him and took a trip

Faith Bistline was excited for her 30th birthday trip to Costa Rica with her boyfriend, but a few weeks before they were to leave, she received an unsettling Facebook message.

“Is he your boyfriend?” the message asked, inquiring about a photo Bistline posted with her boyfriend of 18 months. “Because he’s been dating my friend for the past 10 months.”

Bistline was in disbelief. There had to be a mistake.

She took a screenshot and forwarded it to her boyfriend. He saw the message, she said, but he didn’t reply.

The inquiry came in late August from a woman who said her friend and co-worker, Emely Ortiz, was also his girlfriend.

Soon, Bistline got a text from Ortiz introducing herself and saying she’d been dating the guy for nearly a year, and believed they were exclusive.

“I just want to know how long you guys have been dating for,” Ortiz,

Family says Garden City vacation rental home was not as advertised

GARDEN CITY, SC (WBTW) — One family spent thousands of dollars on a high-end rental home in Garden City, but when they arrived on Saturday, it was everything but what they expected.

Now, Georgetown County is involved, and the family is packing up disappointed.

“Just trying to enjoy the beach and a vacation,” Bill Collins said. “We’ve had a vacation nightmare.”

In April, Collins booked a recently renovated seven-bed vacation home in Garden City for the week. It boasted an oceanfront view featuring second and third-floor decks.

But when the family of nine arrived on Saturday, they were shocked to find key features missing, in addition to exposed wires, cracked windows, loose deck railings, protruding sharp nails in the outdoor shower, missing steps to their private beach access, and a locked door that led to a wide-open shed.

Sea Star Realty said the steps to the beach access were washed

The Goldschneiders go down South! The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom Jackie Goldschneider’s family vacation in South Carolina may have ended, but she’s still keeping the memories alive with travel photos of her crew.

In an Instagram picture that she shared on September 14, Jackie can be seen posing with her four children — 14-year-old twins Adin and Jonas, and 12-year-old twins Alexis and Hudson — on a grand staircase in Charleston. Foregoing a formal caption, the RHONJ cast member simply used a “squad goals” hashtag, adding red heart and heart-eyes emojis.

The sweet photo got some love from Bravolebrities, including The Real Housewives of Potomac‘s Dr. Wendy Osefo and The Real Housewives of New York City‘s Bershan Shaw, and Jackie’s husband, Evan Goldschneider, commented with a blue heart emoji.

Though Evan didn’t appear in this particular shot, Jackie still tagged him, meaning he was likely the
