Before I get started, I want to send a big congratulations to Maria P, the winner of my Pepsi Super Bowl Party Pack giveaway! Though I no longer have a vested interest in the outcome of the game (ohh, my poor sweet Ravens...), I hope you enjoy hosting a fun party with your awesome prize! Thanks to everyone who participated :)
Moving on, Jon and I leave for Puerto Rico in (ohmyholyheck) 10 hours! I had planned to do a super packing post last night like I did for our European vacation, but I was having a seriously difficult time packing last night. I got started at 7:30 PM, right after I kicked Jon out of the bedroom and out of my hair to go have a beer with our neighbor, figuring that I would be done in a couple of hours or so.
WRONG. I didn't go to bed until after midnight last night and I didn't finish until 6:00 tonight. I usually don't have a problem with packing but I just couldn't seem to get it right this time because I kept second guessing my choices. Oh well, I decided to just give myself plentyof options so I think I'll be fine, rain or shine, fancy or casual.
We've had this cruise booked since last January and I'm thrilled that it's finally here! The ship departs on Saturday so that means we have a day in Puerto Rico and then we'll set sail for St. Thomas, St. Maarten, St. Lucia, Antigua and Barbados. We haven't been back to St. Lucia since our honeymoon so it's going to be so lovely to get to spend some time there again. We've never been to Antigua or Barbados though Antigua has been on our list of places to visit for quite some time so Jon and I are both very excited to finally see those islands.
I decided not to do guest bloggers as I think I'll try to check in at least once next week and say hello and post a quick update. I'm not making any promises though! I might get too swept up in the sunshine and margaritas to make a trip to the internet lounge! When we return, we'll be meeting with our realtor to discuss our plan to get our condo sold, so I definitely want to make the best of this vacation before it's back to reality. I hope you all have a wonderful week and I'll catch up with you soon!
