Back from Paradise... *sigh*

Things I learned from vacation:
1. You probably won't need half of what you pack.
2. You can't do everything you want to do, so don't stress yourself out trying.
3. It really is a small world.
4. Eating everything put in front you is a bad idea.
5. Drinking everything put in front of you is also a bad idea.
6. It's difficult to put on a damp bathing suit in a very small bathroom.
7. One application of sunblock is not enough for a day in the Bahamas.
8. It will be over far too quickly.
9. You should always tell other people that you are returning a day after you actually return.
10. It will take approximately the same amount of time to unpack as the vacation lasted.

We had an amazing time on the Disney Wonder. We've already calculated how much it would cost for us to actually live on the ship. ($373,869.60 annually - but hey, that includes food, nightly entertainment, a full time maid, room service, personal waitstaff and gourmet chefs for a family of 5!) We think we can probably get a 10% discount, though. ;)

I've posted a recap of Day 1 of the trip including a motherload of pictures over here: Traveling Spaz

So check it out!

I'm going to go try to get my life back together again. :) Oh wait, that implies it was together in the first place.

I smell the salty air already... oh wait, I live in Florida...

Hey remember me? I used to write here occasionally.

My mind has been preoccupied, though. See, we're going on vacation in a little less than 2 weeks. And I can't seem to get my mind to think about anything else.

This isn't just any vacation, either.

We're going on the Disney Wonder!

We're going with my parents, and my sisters and their families. There will be 14 of us in all. :) It's not our first time, either. We did this once before in 2005 and it was the best vacation EVER.

E-V-E-R

Imagine a first class resort floating atop beautiful Caribbean seas.

Now imagine that they entertain your children for you while you sip fruity drinks.

Add to that a private island unspoiled by the hustle bustle of typical tourist destinations, just lush tropical surroundings and more fruity drinks.

Supplement it all with incredible food in massive abundance and a staff that seems to know what you desire even before you desire it.

Got that?

Now throw Mickey Mouse into the mix.

I know! Could it get any better?

The last time we were on the boat, Munchkin was just barely 4 and I'm sure she only remembers little glimpses of it. They're going to have *so* much fun.

I'm so excited. Only 10 days more to wait!
