Vacation Plans

Lord help me, it's been 7 years since we have gone on a vacation. SEVEN YEARS. That was our last trip to Vegas when we got engaged. Did I mention it's been 7 years?

Well, thanks to lots of overtime and obsessive penny-pinching and savings, plus getting some money when J's dad passed away, we can now afford to go on vacation again.

So we wasted no time (besides the SEVEN YEARS) in booking a cruise for J, the Teenager, and me. We will be sailing through the Caribbean in January. And, to say I am obsessed with this trip is putting it lightly. I think it may be an unhealthy obsession. It kind of feels like falling in love when you can't think about anything else... can't concentrate at work, etc. :)

I didn't realize how much we needed a vacation. And how much we needed just to simply have a vacation to look forward to.

Something about planning a vacation is so exciting, enough to give you a breath of fresh air, you know? I am so excited for you that you are all going to be able to go!

Thanks! When I do all of this mega planning ahead of time I feel like I get to start my vacation a couple of months early.

Jill,
I am happy for you. I could use a damn vacation too. I didn't really go anywhere for the past 3 years.

Love,

SB
