The last of the suitcases are packed! We leave in the morning. Hasta la vista y'all! The Caribbean is calling us! Ahhhhhhh!

We finally got a call from Celebrity that a Balcony Cabin opened up. (It's a sold-out cruise.) So, we made the switch from our oceanview room to a box seat to the ocean, lol. As Matt would say, "mo money mo money". This getaway is turning out to be a $ priceless journey. Oh well, you only live once. After the 35 below temps last week, I'd do anything to head to the 88 degree Caribbean. We only have 3 days left. Pack, tan, and Spa Day on Wednesday! YIPPEE!!!
Life has been a little stressful lately. Spalon Montage will be just the cure. =)

One week to go.......the "pre-vacation" insomnia begins! Will it all fit in the suitcases? Will I remember everything? Will my hubby wait until the last few hours to pack (like usual)? Will Josh be ok with having his Bday away form home......he keep mentioning he wants a DQ ice cream cake with Lightening McQuen on it. (which we WILL have WHEN we get home from vacation.)...

And, can I say it? I am so friggin' sick of the now & cold! Bring me closer to the equater! LOL!

We are starting to line up the suitcases, and decide what we can fit in them. Oh how I wish we had unlimited luggage space. People say, "You only need a swimsuit and something dressy for dinner." Well with a 2 & 3 yr old.....they ALWAYS seem to get something on their clothes. Unfortunately you need much more than just a swimsuit & dinnerwear for them. I have MacGuvyered a clothes line with suction cups that I plan to hang in the shower. I'll bring a little Tide with, and hand-wash as needed. And if we have to use the Ship's laundry service....so be it! It's vacation, right?!

I'm not sure if the kids are grasping what kind of vacation we are taking....but I think they will really get a kick out of it when we are there. Less then 1 week and a half to go. Everytime I put on my winter jacket and use my car starter....I count down the days until 88 degrees and sun!
Ahhhhhhh!

23 days to go...and I can taste the Filet, Lobster, and fine desserts already! LOL. I guess the 23 days of snow this December has helped boost my excitement for the Caribbean.
