The boat wouldn't have felt like much of a haven at all. Fedora - we had swimming lessons when we were kids. I think swimming is a really important skill to learn. My current library doesn't have a limit as to the number of books I can take out at once, but I remember bumping up against it when I was a kid. It took a lot of careful planning to get all my books!

We didn't tend to take trips during summer break when we were kids! Mostly the summers were for tons of trips to the library and trying to get my sibs to let me borrow more books on their library cards :) We also hung out at the community center down the street and took swimming lessons at the local pool. I signed our kids up for swim lessons this summer and they cost a lot more than a quarter each now... ;) (Yep, I must be reeeeeeaaally old!) Christina, that would be totally traumatizing!

The long walk to the loo freaks me out!! I have serious bathroom issues :grin: which is probably why I remember one particular holiday we were on a boat, which had no toilet, and during one stormy night we had to go find a tree. I was about 8 years old at the time and it definitely traumatised me for life!! OMG. The long walk to the loo freaks me out!!
