We took E and went to Barcelona for August of this year, she was turning 1 year old. It was exhausting and amazing and frustrating and eye opening and just plain fun. Leaving behind "real life" for a month was strange, but then that month began to feel like real life and the rest a dream. <br />I can't wait to hear more about it!!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347660763479936514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-1245223069447159712011-09-29T03:08:36.467-04:002011-09-29T03:08:36.467-04:00sounds perfect.

My job does not provide the flexibility to take an entire month off, but it's great to know that there are affordable options out there, even if it is for a shorter stay. I'd love to know more about how you came upon this place if you don't mind sharing.Gayby Rabieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779637237846558012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-46406670381754672312011-09-25T00:17:30.134-04:002011-09-25T00:17:30.134-04:001.

I felt a little bit that way when I happened upon *your* blog...I think I read all your posts in a matter of 2 days. is it creepy to admit that??<br /><br />2. As I was reading the beginning of this post and you mentioned Costa Rica, I thought to myself, "THAT would be a good place for them to go." As opposed to Florida. I'm so so psyched for you. I lived there for a year, teaching English in an elementary school in a rural coffee farming village. So much of what I think about the way kids should be raised has been informed by that year. It is an AWESOME. Place for kids. Awesome. Especially wild-running boys. I go back regularly, to go to an artists' colony. I would love to touch base with you before you go.Ruby at Breathedragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113512869394910128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-63990674491659018342011-09-23T15:52:01.351-04:002011-09-23T15:52:01.351-04:00Yes!!

Travel doesn't have to be expensive it just takes the umph to do it. I was in Costa Rica a while ago, before Bee was here, and it is definitively somewhere I would go again now that she is here. F said it reminded her a lot of life in Brunei. Kids and families all outside doing things together. Going to places like this reminds me of how unfamily life America and Canada can be in some ways. Thanks for the blog links. I will be reading all of them. We have started saving for the "next big thing" which is always travel for us too.Next in Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161821079608326520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-70619080763329980312011-09-22T10:58:14.201-04:002011-09-22T10:58:14.201-04:00You're awesome.

Sabbaticalhomes.com seems like a good site--I can't personally vouch for it but I'm an academic and several friends have used it. There are also other such sites. We have subletted our place to help finance summer trips abroad in the past. One nice thing about NYC is no matter where or what you live in, you are residing in a source of income b/c visitors will gladly pay the equivalent of your rent (or more) to avoid hotels in NYC!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714398462016533571.post-62242289751147720132011-09-21T20:13:59.656-04:002011-09-21T20:13:59.656-04:00oh wow.

We traveled the world just her and I while I taught French and English in France. We would go to the beaches in Italy on spur of the moment decisions, or we would hop on a train and go to Barcelona or Portugal, or anywhere I chose...she is now fluent in French, English, Spanish, Italian and Portugese :) i'm proud to say my 6 yr old is a polyglot :) (we just got back in May of this year, and we leave again next summer!)

Connecting with women like you is what keeps me motivated to keep blogging, it´s all about helping out and inspiring each other, bringing others to dream and accomplish their dreams and share all what´s going on, which brings more people on the boat and fuels an endless cycle of awesomeness.
