9 March 2011, parts 1 – 3

It’s five minutes til the 9th of March, but not here.  Here it’s not yet 7 pm and the waiting game began about an hour ago.  I must say this – all of the orrific stories I read of other people’s experiences with Virgin Airlines and their special assistance have all proven untrue for me, thus far.

Nine and a Half Weeks…and counting

I feel like it is count down to the wedding all over again.  The anxiety and planning and double checking and re-budgeting and craziness could easily be mistaken for pre-wedding micro-management stress – but no.  No this stress is for a vacation, you know when you leave your worries behind and give a big FU to the bills and daily concerns you leave behind.  Yes, that wonderfully stressful thing called a vacation.  A dear friend, who is likewise planning a vacation of sorts, provided a nice excuse for all of this muss – I’ll worry about every minute being planned out now so that I can properly vacation without those worries then.  I think I will steal her excuse, it bodes well.
