3 more sleeps,

and we are off to Florida!!! Sweet, sweet vacation. I love you.

Jeff always complains about the "Pre Flight Rebecka" that emerges about a week before we travel anywhere. I can't help it, I get anxious. It has nothing to do with a fear that our plane could crash and has everything to do with being stuck in a cramped, air sharing, baby crying tube at a million feet in the air with no escape. Also, I need a few bevvies to calm my nerves before getting on the plane but then I am anxious because I may have to use the "bathroom", I use that term loosely. Not a place I like to visit.

Don't get me wrong, it is always worth it but every year it gets worse. I just keep it on the inside now. Next year, I am insisting we drive.

I think the anxiety also comes from all the planning that has to happen before a trip. I get worried we will forget something despite my lists. Seriously, I have lists to organize my lists, no joke. I have challenged my dear husband to plan a trip all on his own for us and see if he is all calm, cool and collected before hand. He says, "Sure, I can do it." Good luck husband. Don't forget to pack my clothes, passport, book the rental car, hotel, figure out food, house/circus animal sitter, an approximate budget and tourist spots etc. I think it is important for him to do this, give him a better understanding that a vacation does not simply entail loading the suitcases into the car and getting on a plane. I will keep you posted hourly when Jeff's vacation planning begins. I can't wait!

So, here's to no sleeping for the next "3 sleeps until Florida"!

xoxo

P.S. Please do not confuse this for me not being excited, cause I sure am!!!!!!
