Time flies when you're having fun

I'm still not pulling my hair out and screaming "get me out of here now". My family and I are having such a wonderful vacation. The only time I have been away from them is when I went to a birthday party with one of my childhood friends. Otherwise we've been together 24/7 using my sister's house as our "headquarters". My brother Paolo and his family have been staying here this whole time even though they live 5 mn away, stopping home just to feed the dog and the cat. My brother Pascal and his son, my mom and myself all stay here as well. Most of the time our childhood friend Christine whom we've known for 30 years and who is included in all family activities spends the night as well. What a full house. It makes deciding what to do or where to go each day, easier though. Everybody is right here and once the decision has been made we can just all leave. We don't have to meet somewhere or wait for someone. We just pack the cars with what we'll need for the day and go. No stress.

It is about 7am right now and it's time for my daily walk. The only way I've been able to not gain weight since I arrived, because we surely do eat. My mom and my sister have been cooking all my favorite food and it would be rude to say no, right? Swimming and hiking help too. Hopefully I'll get back to San Diego close to what I weighed when I arrived.

13 days here that feel more like 4. A week left. We have so many more activities on our program; and I have so many more people to see. I might need another 2 weeks. Time does fly when you're having fun.
