Mom Finally Flees NYC To Vancouver, Finds Freedom & Sea Critters
In a daring act of solo rebellion, our intrepid journalist ditched NYC for Vancouver in September 2025, booking a last-minute, wallet-punching flight Sunday after Thursday’s spontaneous decision. Sparks flew just over an hour in, watching ‘Dirty Dancing’ on a seat-back TV, proving teen movies and newfound independence do mix. Breaking free from her 'Travel Dad' husband's obsession with airport timelines (he could arrive before airports exist), she navigated passports solo, battled self-consciousness alone on a seal zodiac tour, and even chatted up a round-the-world cruise Aussie couple. A Toronto law prof at a bar spawned unexpected adult small talk, while her nephew, busy at a five-star hotel, was too occupied to act as tour guide. Despite taking boat rides despite her son’s decades-old open water phobia, she returned home the next day armed with unflattering selfies and a fierce new motto: solo mom travel = self-respect, not selfishness.
