Holidays

Yesterday was Mother's Day in the United States. Countries around the world have similar holidays, but the actual date varies, in England it was in March and in Israel it is in February. I guess Hallmark cannot get everyone to agree to one day.
Since my mother passed away almost four years ago, I had no one to buy flowers for, or mail a card to. My roommate and I went out to lunch after he got home from church. His mother has also been gone for a number of years. It seemed most of the restaurant parking lots were crowded with families out enjoying the day. The place we chose eventually filled up with families with mothers and in some cases grand mothers.
My father used to make sure that their was a card from all the children and a present from us, which he had bought. While still in New Jersey my mother would get breakfast delivered to her in bed. As we got older it was just a big breakfast in the kitchen. But honestly, my father cooked breakfast every Sunday for the family, so only the cards and gifts made it something different.
My family accepted my lifestyle and it was not much of an issue, but so many gay men and women are disowned by their families. And that is such a waste. Relationships that grew for years are destroyed by the truth, and no one is to blame.

Swine Flu? We have a cure......

With all the media attention on Mexico and the Swine Flu Pandemic, travelers are avoiding many of the most popular vacation spots in the Western Hemisphere, Cancun, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta.
Travelers already booked are re-booking to other destinations in the Caribbean.
This is a hard blow for Mexico. With the press it has recently received with the drug lords and border issues, this is the last thing the tourist destinations need. While it seems that the disease has over run the country, the vast majority of cases are in Mexico City and not in the beach resorts. But people are still wary of the whole country.
Damron Vacations is offering a cure for the swine flu. Currently Damron Vacations is offering a $100 instant savings for packages to the Caribbean. Destinations like the Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, Antigua, and the list goes on. Fantastic beaches, turquoise water, frozen drinks with little umbrellas, what more is needed?
When traveling, do not forget to bring your Damron Guide. For over 40 years the Damron Guide has been helping gay travelers find places to relax and feel accepted. While some islands are not very gay friendly, all-inclusive resorts make leaving the property unnecessary.
So if the swine flu has made you postpone a Mexican vacation, let the experienced agents of Damron Vacations help you plan a Caribbean Escape. Leave CNN, cellphones, and flu reports at home and relax under a palapa and enjoy.
