Hi, anita. This post was awaiting moderation for a while, glad it finally cleared.

No, Bill doesn’t understand my position. I’m surprised because he and I go back over 20 years. The first time he asked me, we had an argument. That was early January. The second time, I responded more calmly, and we discussed it, I thought. I told him I wasn’t ready to get out and mingle, that I wanted to go to cheap and remote destinations. Thing is, I do want to get out of town, I’m tired of my own walls too. Otherwise, I could just say no and be done with it.

I’ll try to explain this to Bill again, and emphasize that I need more notice.
