Is it really packing if you open your piece of luggage and take things out?  Isn't that technically "un-packing"?  I confess I did just that, I removed about 6 pieces of attire that I felt I could do without on this holiday trip.  I may even take out one or two other things...perhaps...the countdown says we have 6 days and a little over 2 hours, who knows?!

Can you believe it???

The countdown is in serious single digits.  Excited is not a word to describe how we're feeling; not sure if it's the trip or that we will have about 6 weeks away from work that's making us more thrilled.  Yeah, right!  It's the trip that has us in an uproar of emotion.

Yes, I have packed and, believe it or not, I am only allowed one checked bag but, by miracle, I have room left.  Yes, you see are seeing it...I have room to spare or rather to bring back stuff!  Yahoo! :)

I feel blessed and like the luckiest person in the world!  God has blessed me with my perfect partner/friend, whom I love more than I can express in words. I am happy to say I will be experiencing this trip with the most awesome tour guide!

Look forward to sharing our journey with family and friends.  You will be with us in spirit and hope to enjoy our trip enough for all of us.  I'm sure it will leave an everlasting impression on us that we would love to share with you.
