[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you thinking it's bragging-- If you ask me "what are you guys doing over break?" and I'm a friend of yours and I say "oh nothing really, staying around here" and then you find out 2 weeks later than I actually went to Dublin or Paris with my 3 kids, wouldn't you find it odd or pretty much dishonest that I gave one answer but then went on a trip that was obviously not planned the last minute? [/quote] We have a place in Vail and we spend the entire winter there. When people ask what we're doing, I say we might travel out of town, but we're not sure. I'm European, so this might be cultural, but for us, anything that might look like bragging is very faux pas. My FIL is American and likes to brag about his homes, vacations, cars, career etc. For him, it's the pride for being successful. [/quote] Vail? Sounds like you are bragging.[/quote] Nah. Val d'Isere? Then we're talking.[/quote]
