Believe it or not, my brother in law has already purchased the 2008 Houston Rodeo Tickets as he is a big rodeo fan. Mind you, the tickets are not cheap but knowing that we will be flying over there for a vacation, he has sponsored the tickets for our whole family.

My brother in law also attended the 2007 event and told us that it was an experience not to be missed since we are going to be there. What I am looking forward to is actually the concert that comes after the rodeo event which features some of the biggest names in country, rock, hip hop and latin music.

We were told that when the rodeo events are completed a stage is moved to the center of the ring and rotates to provide all seats with a clear view of the artists. I know my kids are eagerly hoping to see performers like Miley Cyrus but I secretly would love to see Maroon 5 and Faith Hill sing.

Best of all, we are getting the very much coveted Action Seats, which are along both sides of the rodeo ring and include complimentary food and beverages. I’m so excited, I can’t wait! Houston Rodeo, here we come!

Would you do it? If it was not an official or business trip, would you leave your kids behind with your other half and go off on a vacation with your friends?

I love traveling but do not have much chance to travel far in my younger days due to financial reason. Now that things are financially more stable for me, I am beginning to get the itchy feet but feel guilty for even considering going off on a vacation without the family. Don’t get me wrong, I love going for holidays with my family. It is the icing on the cake. However, to bring the whole family along, the expenses is high and we are not able to travel far. On the other hand, if I were to travel with friends, the expenses will be for one pax only.

Anyway, at this point of time, I believe I cannot find it in my heart to leave my family for a vacation with friends *sigh*. Have you guys done it before and what’s your take on this?
