We found out only a few days ago that Vic is being sent to Portland for a two-week business trip. He was supposed to leave on Tuesday but it was moved to Monday. He will be there just in time for the Memorial Weekend. Memorial Weekend means only one thing...SALE!
If I don't have Johann, Javi and Bettina to think of, I would have gone with him. In fact, I had already chosen his hotel for him and mapquest'd our fave spots (PF Chang's, Costco, Hooters, outlet malls and Target). Hahaha, parang ako ang aalis.
--------------------
I've always liked going on business trips. Somebody else pays for the food, accommodations, rental, gas and laundry. I only had to worry about my shopping money.
One big drawback though is leaving behind one's family. I used to spend my hours away from the office at a nearby mall, TJ Maxx or outlet shops. I'd go home when it is dark enough to sleep or when my feet are too tired from window shopping. I'd bring home some take-out and sit in front of the laptop waiting for Vic to wake up and chat with me.
I'm sure Vic will miss the kids (and me, of course!). So, here I am doing some window shopping for a list things Vic will bring home. Don't worry, Daddy, konti lang naman.
