Well, I haven't begun to pack yet but tomorrow morning at 0630 my husband and I will be heading out! We will board a plane that will take us to the West coast to California to visit with family. It's our first post-deployment trip! We will arrive at LAX around noon'ish then jaunt on over to Long Beach (Rich's stomping grounds), maybe grab lunch at Seal Beach and then stay the night at the Queen Mary Hotel! I am SOOOO excited about staying at the QM Hotel! Friday we will head over (well 2 hours) to spend a few days with the kids before making our way back to LA on Monday for our flight home Tuesday.
I love, love, love traveling with my husband! He is always such an awesome travel-mate; plus he's the only one of us qualified to drive in California traffic. I tend to find a book or magazine or potato chip bag to read when we hit Cali traffic - I figure if I'm not looking....I won't know what's happening around us!
Rich and I sat down recently with a calendar and have written down (in ink) various trips and places we'd like to visit for each month. Before our lives were interrupted by death and deployment, we would sit around and talk about all of the things we 'should' do, or 'want' to do 'one day'.
If anything has come from our 2-year experience...it's to Live! To do those things we talk about .... to go to the places we want to go....to take the lives we have been blessed with and make the days and seconds count. Our children are grown, our bills are paid, we have a few jingles in our pocket and we have all of the time in the World each and every day.
So, on that note....let's pack and go!!
