gone in 10 hours!

Or bags are packed! Laundry is done! Electronics are charged! Dogs have been run! Homework is organized! Shoulders and back have been massaged!...not the relaxation kind! Wine is in the glass and I'm about to run an epsom salt bath!

What a day! Work was crazy busy trying to finish things up so I didn't leave things undone. I am so ready for our vacation. I have missed a few calls tonight as I have not stopped..hopefully I'll be forgiven!

Taylor is so excited, but I don't think anyone is as excited as me. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas to come...though with a bit more maturity ( I think?!) Bill has promised to leave his cell at home so work can not find him!

So, I'll sign off for now and let you all know how our trip was when we return on the 28th!

It's getting close!

So one week from today we'll be in Miami getting ready for an Everglades tour! Depending on the time we're back we may try to take in the Parrot Jungle as recommended by my Uncle John. Looks like it would also make for a fun outing. So much to see so little time.

I am trying to get our packing done this week-end as we up work to the day before we leave, so I have to be organized. Taylor has decided he needs another swim suit so we may go this afternoon to see what we can find. I have been checking out the Cruise website and we're getting very excited. Each stop has lots of different excursions we can take part in, so we'll have to narrow down our favorites!

The scrapbooking group I'm joining while there is blogging daily with tidbits of information to tease us with. Sounds like they have tons planned for us and the sponsors have been very generous. It will be like Christmas for us I think! We've been told to allow lots of extra space in our bags for lugging all our goodies home...Can't Wait!

Otherwise all is well in our world! Bill has been busy with work, Taylor with school, hockey and his social life and I am never with a shortage of things to do. Between work, my hobbies and keeping Bill and Taylor organized...my days are full, everyone should be as lucky!

The Countdown Is On!

So we are now into our final two weeks before our cruise and I am really getting excited! Taylor is thrilled to be joining us and even happier to have a week off school! Can't say I blame him. Although the weather has been very agreeable the past while, it was a long cold road to get here. I don't think we could have planned for a better year to take a winter vacation.
We will have a full day + in Miami before we leave on the cruise and look forward to a half day tour of the Everglades. Taylor keeps saying he wants to buy something in Miami...this city has some real intrigue to him. Knowing my boy, he'll want to buy something in every port! he definitely gets that trait from him Mother!
I look forward to some of the photography & scrap booking activities that I have planned with a group we'll travel with, but truly look forward to some fun with Bill & Taylor. I hope Bill is able to "turn work off" for the week and just CHILL!
We'll keep you posted.....HUGZ!
