Solstice Survivor

I already have two posts waiting in the wings of my draft box, which you would know if I'd get around to finishing them, because I've already explained this in the last one.  So here's my back up back up entry.

Now that we've reached that time of year, the official kickoff of summer, I've noticed other fellow bloggers out there starting to dip their toes into the open water of the subject of summer vacations.  Well, throw me a life preserver, because I'm already in over my head in summer vacation.

Here's a little run down of my holiday so far.  And remember, you can add the phrase "with an infant" after each one, kind of like that fortune cookie joke, only more wholesome.

• 14+ hour solo plane journey, which involved one overnight sleepover with relatives and a 2 hour layover
• physically hauling kitchen shelves, METAL, kitchen shelves, across the Atlantic
• 800 mile road trip to visit relatives
• another 1000 miles by car to spend 6 weeks in university housing, AGAIN!
• another 1000 miles by car back
•  5000 miles home

Can anyone top that?
