It's been a Crazy couple weeks getting ready for this Vacation, and now it's Finally here....We leave TODAY!!!
I had to slave myself for every hour at work these past 2 weeks in order to get everything ready to go. Then there was all the last min run around picking up Peptobismal, sunscreen,Visiting the Doctor before leaving. Then of course, we went to the tanning salon a couple times so our pale pale skin isn't shocked the first day we are there.
Then there was packing, who knows if your actually going over the weight limit right? So her I am, rigging a way to weigh our huge luggage bags on out tiny bathroom scale. We are allowed 44lbs each for checked baggage, and 10 lbs each for carry on. my luggage weighs out at 35lbs , Drews at 36. then I went to weigh our carry on... it din't register, OH NO what if it's innacurate!
So then I dug up the weightlifting weights we never use out of the basement. I put on 35 lbs - it's accurate. I put on only 15lbs - It's accurate. I put on 5 lbs- it doesn't register. 3 more pounds to bring it to 8, doesn't register. Put on a 10 pound weight, It registers!!!
So as long as our carry on does not register, it is under 10 pounds :)
Jen was going to be our ratty godmother while we were gone but poor
Jen is plauged, so we are leaving our pet rats with my sister. ( Get better soon Jen! ) Our original ride to pick us up at 2AM Monday the 27th fell through, so we are going to try to canvas our friends this morning so hopefully Drew won't need to drive home after our flight, and so his car doesn't sit in a Park n Fly parking lot, when it should be sitting at the mechanics.
Other than that, We are so super excited. We've refered to this as honeymoon Version 2.0. We had a wonderful time at our
northern lodge, Drew did kind of wish for a more
tropical Vacation . I think we are pretty lucky, WHo gets 2 honeymoons in their first year of Marriage??
So we leave today, We hope you all have a wonderful week. It would be great if you could join us, but you just won't all fit in my suitcase!
Lotsa of Love
Becca
