And We're Off !

Well, the day is finally here ... we are packed and ready to go! The kids still think we are going down to southern California to play on the beaches for a week. Little do they know we are off to Hawaii! It has been a hard few months trying to keep this a secret from the kids! We have both slipped here and there mentioning Hawaii -- but they have not caught on, or so we think! It seems as if we have spent way more money getting stuff ready for vacation than the actual trip has cost us -- you know you always need enough pairs of chonies for everyone (no washer and dryer in a hotel room)! We are also trying not to pack too much, because we don't want to pay an extra $25.00 per bag! We cannot wait to be over there and enjoying the weather!
