I packed up to go to a writer's conference in Homer, AK the night before the trip. I worked that morning, and then went home to tidy up the house and grab my stuff before leaving. When I got to Homer (5 hours away) I realized I had my manuscript (back in the days of paper, mind you.) But I'd forgotten my suitcase.<br /><br />No clothes, jewelry, toiletries - not even a clean pair of undies! For a 5 day conference. And Homer isn't exactly a hot spot for clothes shopping (you know, you've been there.) I spent almost $200 on one pair of panties, one pair of socks, one pair of jeans, and a shirt. I cycled through those and what I'd worn on the ride down. I have to admit, it's kind of fun to have a ditzy story to tell :)<br /><br />I'm looking forward to Tuesday when I can read Rescued by a Stranger!Tam Linseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455888010872538096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-77556795872973317252013-09-26T15:16:19.520-04:002013-09-26T15:16:19.520-04:00Hi, Liz!

After a lot of years, though, my mother--a very good sport--said enough to the tent and we would rent pop-up campers. That was still fairly inexpensive at the time, and it was a great compromise. We had adventures in tents, too, with three boys--but somehow I managed to keep the love of the adventure. Then again, I never got the mumps--how awful! I'm with you in that case--stick with the Glamping and have your adventures not include sleeping weird places!LizbethSelvighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14068753571254601527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-51632818187026777812013-09-26T13:45:29.302-04:002013-09-26T13:45:29.302-04:00My father was a teacher.

That also means my parents and 5 kids all crammed into a car before A/C was the norm in vehicles. I'm from Michigan, but I remember camping in Yosemite and waking up with ice on the tent. Or we'd have to struggle to set up the tent in the middle of the pouring rain in the dark. My dad was cheap and I only remember staying in a motel one night in many years of camping. I also got the Mumps during one trip. As you can imagine, now I'm not a big fan of camping. Give me Glamping.

Congrats! <br />When training to be a Cub Scout Leader my husband and I went to the overnight training camp. It was my first time camping in a tent and I loved the star filled sky and all the adventurous things we learned. When it was time to sleep, the temperature had dropped to 32 degrees, so the guys arranged for the gals to sleep in the club house. No way was I going to miss my sleeping in a tent experience, so I decided to refuse the club house offer and sleep in a tent with my husband. It was sooooooo cold. NEVER want to do that again...smile.<br />grandmabkr at yahoo dot comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728065355113617376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-64510539903529107332013-09-26T10:05:27.798-04:002013-09-26T10:05:27.798-04:00Where would I never return?
Hmmm.....
A few years ...Where would I never return?<br />Hmmm.....<br />A few years after Tim and I were married, we camped in Florida. EVERYone but me got lobster read. So the family's pretty much sick. THEN a flash flood through the campgrounds. So everything we had was soaked. We couldn't camp on the way back and had to find a "cheap" motel in New Orleans. Cheap was right. But we got a discount cause we stayed the entire night. LOL<br /><br />I can laugh about it now, but we showered with not only our shoes on, but also our bathing suits...not to mention sleeping on the load of beach towels that I washed and dried. (Oh, we put those beach towels into a plastic trash bag and probably washed them a dozen times before we could force ourselves to use them again.)<br /><br />Really Reeeeeeally makes you appreciate a tent.<br />~AngiAngi Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568009648101184027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-38319670681328385002013-09-26T09:59:39.128-04:002013-09-26T09:59:39.128-04:00You're very welcome!
