  1. Chris,
    two things really stood out to me in this post.
    1. The importance of family (Definitely agree)
    2. The importance of Legacy (Thanks GaryVee)
    and the Bonus- all this CAN be achieved through technology (which like it or not makes our lives simpler EVEN through the occasional glitch and no matter how nasty people speak about twitter)
    All the best,
    Justin “R” (Pirate?) French

  3. Love the perspective. Family rocks! In my case, the media usage is kinda melded with the whole being with family thing.

    My wife is a crazy picture taker. So much so that it drives me nuts and I’m the ‘media person’ in the family.

    I have a Flip Ultra that I use on outings with my wife. On our trip to Hawaii a few weeks ago I took 109 clips and pulled them in to iMovie to make a memorable video to send to the whole family. My wife loved that I did that.

    The flip camera became part of the vacation. We came up with a new verb. My wife would say “Are you flippin’ this?”

    I did save the editing till after we get home though.

  5. My wife and I managed to quash a lot of our anxieties over vacations and money spending this June. We went on a three week vacation to visit family and friends with a goal of only spending our normal weekly budget each of the three weeks.

    We managed to mostly succeed in our goal, we went about $300 over our normal three week budget, which was better than I think either of us truly thought we would do. The staying with family and friends definitely made this possible, there is no way we could have done this and paid for accommodation. However, this has given us confidence that when we do go on a vacation with added expenses that we will be able to limit what we spend.
