Vacation Update

So Hurricane Dean did manage to ruin my Cancun vacation. I emailed the concierge at the hotel down there about damages, and here is what he wrote back...way too funny not to share:

Thank you for using the Marriott Virtual Concierge Service. We have received your request for extra towels upon your arrival. Regarding your question about the hotel status let me inform you that everithing if fine, the restaurants are operating normally, except that the beach is gone.

Hmmm....did you catch that last sentence there - everything is normal except, oh yeah, this 1 minor thing about the beach having disappeared!! Me and Bubba laughed so hard when we read this! So needless to say, we have made other plans for our vacation this year. And I'm kind of glad for the way all this worked out. Our 5th anniversary will be celebrated while we're away, which means it is the 2 year anniversary of our ttc and our journey of loss. It has been the longest most draining 2 years of my life, needless to say. So, I need to go some place seriously GOOD. After much travel web surfing we have decided to go to HAWAII. I AM SO DANG EXCITED! We've decided to cash in all of those reward points and frequent flier miles that we're saving for who know when and use them to go over the country, across the pacific to the Big Island. I've never been, and other than the crazy long flight, I know it's going to be fabulous.

Who knew this hurricane could end up being a good thing?

I don't know why you didn't just go to Cancun. I mean, really, what's so important about a beach for a Mexican vacation? ;)

That's too funny! I'm glad you've been able to make other plans. Hope you enjoy Hawaii!

It seems I live in a world where I am always jealous of you... If you weren't so great I would probably never speak to you again!!! ;)

Have fun! Ask Don & Kylie for fun stuff to do - they lived their for a while.
