We've decided on MAUI! [Why does Hawaii have to have so many islands??] And... we've decided on JUNE! Based on everyone's schedules... we will be leaving on June 22 and will be staying 6 or 7 nights in beautiful Maui. Now, that the decisions have been made, we just need to go in a book everything!
Keeping our fingers crossed, good things are coming our way.
The husband & I were supposed to get away in December for our anniversary. Due to timing - it never happened. Instead, we've been chatting about where we could possible go this summer.
North Carolina. Georgia. Oregon. California. Florida.
We called out different states. I immediately took California off of the list... we've been there so many times. I wanted this trip to be special. We never went on a Honeymoon, and this will be our first REAL trip away without the kids (I have guilt already!).
The husband said...What about Hawaii?
Hawaii?? Obviously. It's been a dream of mine for... FOREVER. I've always thought of going to Hawaii as a big production - you know, a 20 year anniversary trip? - but maybe it doesn't have to be?!
All of a sudden, Kelly Clarkson started singing in my head - this song:
Could we pull this off?! Costco Travel and other sites like Expedia say that we can.
So for all intensive purposes, it looks like my love bird and I are going to Hawaii! Of course, all of this will feel more real in two weeks when we book it, Dano! (hehe, I love CBS' Hawaii 5-0). And even more real when we are actually on the plane (6 hour flight?!).
So, today being February 1st... We have about 165 days until our trip (give or take a day)!
I have so much planning to do! We need to open a savings account to start putting away spending money. I need to work on the bikini tankini body. I need to figure out where the kids are going or who's coming to stay with them (hello, mama!).
Have any of you ever been to Hawaii?! Anything you feel like we need to know or go see while we are over there? Do tell!
