The Vacation Coutdown Begins

Tyler and I like love to travel. I honestly wish I had Samantha Brown's job. We love God's creation and have a desire to see as much of it as possible.

Two Saturdays ago, I was feeling a little bit under the weather and what better thing to do for travel junkies than to watch the Travel Channel all day. So, that is just what we did. While we watched, Tyler and I got to thinking our anniversary is coming up, where should we go or should we even go anywhere. So off to the computer we went, in search for cheap travel locations in the U.S. (I did not have my passport renewed with in one year of marriage so, I would have to pay again). We searched Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans, and St. Louis.

New Orleans- Mardis Gras is two days prior to our planned arrival and we would be there during St. Patty's Day. Ummm... No thanks we are not boozers.
Atlanta- I would have LOVED to have gone to the largest aquarium in the U.S. but there was not much else to fill our time. We are more of Disney lovers than Six Flags.
St. Louis- TOO cold in March
Miami- The mere mention of Spring Break and prices SKY ROCKET!

So we're back at square one. Tyler begins looking at cruises. I am overly frustrated by this point so, back to the living room I go for more of the Travel Channel and day dreaming of being in places like Bora Bora or Hawaii. In the midst of my frustration, Tyler calls me back to the computer and shows me prices for cruises well under what we would pay for a vacation in any of the previously listed locations.  Also, since Tyler is past cruiser even more discounts would apply! Two days later after asking my boss for PTO (paid time off) days we booked our 1st cruise as a couple!

6 weeks and 2 days remaining!
