4 days and counting

Our vacation is fast approaching! I am in a craze of list-making, doing laundry, packing, scheduling, preparing, etc. Amazingly, Brian has this WHOLE weekend off!! It's been great to spend some time together while discussing all the fun we are going to have! Looks like we got the flip just in the nick of time - we will certainly share some videos from our trip.

We're leaving Friday morning for Miami...Friday night we're staying at the Epic Hotel - we have a waterview room with a balcony. I'm SO excited - we never splurge on things like this, but we found a great deal online! Also, in a bizarre twist of fate, Carnival called us a few weeks ago and offered us a fantastic price on a suite, so we upgraded!

On our cruise we're going to Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Georgetown, Grand Cayman; and Roatan, Honduras. We are so looking forward to this much-needed vacation after the crazy hours Brian has been keeping. We've booked beach trips on two of the islands, and they are both somewhat secluded beaches - we are wanting some relaxation and peace.

Tomorrow we're going out to buy some essentials. Brian needs some sunglasses, and we also need to buy a 24-pack of water. And hopefully we can start putting some clothes in the suitcase so we won't accidentally wear them. We've already checked out several books from the library. A week of sun, solitude, and unlimited time with my sweet hubby...what more could I want? Stay tuned. I'll be sure to journal along the way.
