I have a "high class problem"
There's no way I can come off not looking like a whiner or an ingrate, but please hear me out. Myself and the inlaws (6 of us) are going to Dubai pretty soon. While we're there my dh & his sister will take mil to their home city/country and come back the same day. My mil will be staying there for at least a month and a half, or indefinitely. She's not sure.
Anyway, unbeknownst to me, my boss had been working on sending me and a coworker to Kenya in June. Unfortunately, the details couldn't be worked out, so it was just about given up on (without me ever knowing about it). Then a lightbulb went off, and she found out that she could add to my ticket to Dubai for just a hundred dollars or so, and thus... I'm going to Kenya!
So, here's my problem. My husband can't go. First, he wasn't invited. Second, he has a commitment that he can't get out of. I'm just so sad at the thought of seeing this amazing place and not being able to share it with him. It's just making me cry, and seeing his disappointment has been very difficult for me, too. I know I'm being crazy for not being head over heels amazed and excited about this great opportunity, but I'm just feeling so much sadness along with my absolute excitement (This has been a dream of mine for my entire life).
Dumb, I know.
Re: I have a "high class problem"
Not dumb at all, but yes a high-class problem! I really envy your job sometimes, but the others I'm glad I don't work for your boss
I'm sorry you're hubby can't be there with you, I know I'd want to share something like that with my DH. That said, try to enjoy it! He wouldn't want you to be there all bummed out and you deserve such a great experience.
Be sure to report back! We had planned on going on safari this year but looks like it's not going to pan out so give me some recs if you have any when you get back.
Oh, and P.S. can you send me the pics you took of that stuff I sent you? I asked in the Bump post you created but I don't think you saw it.
Oh, yeah, no prob!
I'm having the same sort of "problem" myself. I wanted to have fun travel adventures while DH is on his deployment, but as I've tried to plan I keep thinking, "But this place would be so much better to see WITH C, I'll just wait to go there with him someday." There are only a few places left on my list by this point, and none of them are very exciting. *sigh*
I'm super envious of you getting to go to both Dubai and Kenya. How amazing! I hope it's awesome and that you can enjoy it despite your DH not being able to go. That part stinks though, I know.
I love the title of this post. The only thing that would have been better is if you added that you had to wipe your tushie with some "lower" bills and if you had to wash down your caviar with ughhh, "regular" bottled water. I love you M.
I am super jealous of your trip and I am sorry that your dh can't join you. Have a fun, croc-free time my friend.
I totally understand feeling this way but I think you should consider what the odds are that you and DH will be able to get out there together anytime soon. If you decide not to go, will you potentially be missing out on an opportunity that may not come again?
In general, I think you should definitely go and I have no doubt in my mind you'd have a great time. It's too bad your DH can't join you, but I can't imagine you will regret going or that he would want you to miss out on the opportunity because of him.
So while it's natural to be sad about him missing out, I say go anyway and have a fabulous time. I'm sure you guys will get lots of other opportunities to travel together somewhere really cool.
Croc-free? That's crazy. In fact, I found a pair of leopard print ones that will be perfect:
