What's the skinny on the Channel Islands? 

Worth the hassle?

Cool. What did you all eat?
We started with the pretzel, of course. 

I got the beef rouladen. My son got the paprika schnitzel, and my wife got the weinerschnitzel. 

All were delicious, but I think my wife's would have been well served to have some sort of sauce or something on it.

Well yeah.  Wienerschnitzel is just a fancy word for chicken fried steak.  Clearly you needed some cream gravy on that sucker.

There is a pretty good place in town here. I've had the Wiener Schnitzel and had them add the mushroom gravy to it.

You'd think that would be easy to find here. I know where to go now.

If I recall correctly, you were not excited to go out there in the first place.

Not impressed?

I’ve been before, this was for a HS graduation.  The weather was meh, the itinerary was meh, I didn’t sleep well, the rental car was very meh.  We didn’t do anything of any note, a couple decent meals out.

At the airport now awaiting flight.

I hear you. Traveling when the entire thing is for a family-related event often means that you're bound to whatever they want to do the whole time. Kinda makes spending a ton of money, flying clear across the country, and then doing crap you don't really care about "to support family" seems like a big waste.

That happened to us in LA last year, for a wedding we did not want to attend. Family forced it on us. I resent it and so does my wife. It was her sister doing the forcing.

When most of my contemporaries and I were getting married, the "Destination Wedding" was first starting to catch on as a thing.  One of my friends asked me to be in his wedding which I gladly accepted, and then later told me his fiancee was leaning heavily toward a destination wedding.  I told him to have a great time and that I'd send him a great wedding present, but wouldn't be attending the wedding after all.  He was pretty peeved with me but when he approached everyone else in our group with the same news, they all responded in the same way,  Ultimately he had to tell his bride that if they did a destination wedding, he wouldn't have any groomsmen.

I'm just not going to let someone else determine where and how I spend my valuable and limited vacation time, and resources.  And I find it presumptuous and offensive that someone would think such an imposition was okay.
