Question: I went on a camping trip with my family and friends to Perris Lake. The heat was was awful and I will never forget that. I did enjoy being my friends and family and making memories.

Answer: Me and my wife are suburbanites and never really leave the house on hot summer days. But we do get together with friends because we like them so much. Our friends are avid campers and invited us to go with them over the weekend in the middle of summer. Of course we accepted and we looked at each other when we got home and wondered what supplies we might need. We had no idea what to bring nor what to expect. So we did the best we could considering we didn't even have sleeping bags much less a tent. We arrived at the campsite where our friends were already. The place was serene and had a good atmosphere but the heat was unbearablly hot. There was no place to hide from the heat. We didn't move much during the day at all and hoping that the sun would go down quicker than usual. We took short hikes around the campground just to see what type of facilities were there. Not much in the form of relief from the heat. Well the sun finally went down and then we had to deal with the mosquitoes. I hate mosquitoes. Fortunately we did bring insect repellant and our friends saw that we were a bit frustrated about the whole thing. Our friends started a bonfire and that was wonderful. That took away the mosquitoes and was warming the coolness of the night. We drank beer and told stories of our past and then had a good time from that point on. I am glad it lasted only two days because I just am not cut out to be a big time camper like my friends. Me and my wife were surprised at the empathy that our friends took on us. I felt that they had been in the same position when they first started out camping as well. Me and my wife learned a lot about ourselves and our friends during that lost weekend of our lives. We cherish our friends even more now and next time will be prepared to tackle the campsite.


Question: I retired five months ago and am as happy as I've ever been. Not only can i do what i want to do, but i spend four days a week with my two year old granddaughter. Things are so good for me now; it's a feeling i have never had before.

Answer: At the age of 63, i can honestly say that i'm as happy as i've ever been. I retired from full time employment at the end march; my sources of income now are my pension , my social security, and my m-turk work. i am living a life now that i have never lived before. i compare my situation, although not totally comparable, but to a prisoner who gets out of jail. for forty years i worked at jobs that i didn't enjoy and/or were low paying, i was doing work that was too difficult for me; was unstable, etc. so when i retired, it was like starting a new life. i thought i'd like my "new life," but the fact is i love it; things are too good to be true. not only don't i have to work anymore, but i get to spend four full days a week with my wonderful 2 year old granddaughter, Kinsley. this is because my wife runs a small day care center right here in our house so Kinsley spends eight full hours here four days a week. I can not express in words how much i love Kinsley. I have one daughter but when she was young i was very distracted with a few problems that involved my job as well as some personal issues. i didn't spend nearly as much time with my daughter as i wish i had when she was very young. Spending all this time with my granddaughter, therefore, is a whole new experience. watching her grow; being amazed as she does new things almost every day...amazing. every grandparent brags about how smart their grandchildren are so i'll do the same...Kinsley is so intelligent that it almost scares me. and she is so happy! and no wonder with loving relatives around her all the time. besides all this, as a person who had suffered from insomnia for many years, the fact that i can now sleep when i want, with no pressure of alarm clocks or whether i got adequate sleep, it is amazing that i have no more of those pressures. i hardly even need an alarm clock. i don't have to worry about whether a job can provide coverage if i want to call in sick. i don't have to worry about driving in bad weather as i had to so often in the winter here in central new york state where we sometimes get pounded with snow storms. i also love listening to my CDs and i recently became a frank sinatra fan; better late than never. and i enjoy the company of my wonderful, supportive wife. so all in all, things are great. i paid 40 years worth of dues and i earned my freedom.


Question: The experience we had on this tour was something we had not had before. The casinos and the night life in Vegas was surreal.

Answer:
About four months ago, my partner and I went on a vacation to Las Vegas. The starting was not good as our flight to Vegas was delayed by four hours. Also, it was raining continuously during the takeoff. After initial hiccups, we were very pleased to land at Las Vegas airport safely. It took a while to locate our transport to our hotel. The driver messed up our destination a couple times but finally reached our hotel. As it was too late, we took rest that night. The next four days we had a blast. On the first day, we walked all over the downtown and checked out some interesting places. The next day we took a bus tour, which covered not only the downtown areas but also the outskirts and other famous places. On the third day, we went to various places and buildings that we had marked from the previous day. The designs of various hotels are just amazing. Most of them have high-end shops. One arts shop we went in had artworks priced at least $10,000. The other interesting experience was to witness casinos in all the hotels we visited. We played lightly in some of them and in fact, won a little money. Also, other memorable encounters were the dancing water waves that synchronized with music at Bellagio and the volcanic eruptions at Mirage.
