My aunt doesn’t get to travel nearly as much as she would like. The reason for this is not only does she have a full time job, but she is also a mother of three children. As you can probably imagine, these two major responsibilities keep her quite busy around the clock and throughout the week. While it can be stressful at times, I know that my aunt wouldn’t trade her life for anything in the world. She is madly in love with all of her children (and I might add that she has a wonderful husband), and I know that she is incredibly proud of the work she does and passionate about continuing to succeed.

Now, even though she doesn’t get to travel as much as she would like, this doesn’t mean that she never gets to travel. As I mentioned earlier, she has a wonderful husband, and five years ago, the gift that he gave her for Christmas was the promise that he would make sure she got to take one great trip every year. Since he really is a great guy, he has stuck to his promise, and she has gotten to take a great trip during every one of the years since that Christmas.

For this year’s trip, my aunt decided that she wouldn’t to go to Manchester. She invited me to go with her (I travelled with her last year), but I simply couldn’t get out of work during the time when she was going (and she obviously wasn’t able to change her plans due to her crazy schedule). However, as soon as she got back from Manchester, we got together for lunch and she told me all about her trip. I’ll spare you the details (because that could take up several pages), but the bottom line is that she absolutely loved going there!
