disclaimer: there are no shortage to silly jamaican jokes and puns that i can come up with, so if those will annoy you don't read this.
so philip and i have been trying to plan a trip for memorial day weekend. we've been hoping to get out and visit some family, because we have a few days off work and we haven't been on a plane since january (which doesn't sound long, but is a record for us).
but while trying to decide where to go and who to visit, i jokingly said we should blow it off and go on a getaway the two of us. after joking about it for a while, we looked into it 'just for fun' and, well...
we are headed to jamaica a week from today!
well, really, it's a week from tomorrow since we don't get to jamaica til thursday :) we found some awesome fares and a pretty reasonable all-inclusive, so we are headed out. the last time the two of us were on a trip just US was october 2010. when we got together we decided that we would leave the country at least once a year, because travel is really important to us and we didn't want to sacrifice it just because we were getting married. well, in 2011 we decided to put that trip money towards a newly remodeled upstairs bathroom, so we didn't get out of the country. and it's been weighing on us ever since. we've talked about doing an all-inclusive for over a year now. neither one of us has ever done the whole mexico-spring-break-all-inclusive thing. our trips tend to be a bit more cultural - morocco, spain, paris, prague, etc. but secretly i've always fantasized about laying on a beach, drinking and playing in the water with my husband. and since i'm absolutely terrified of mexico right now, we were able to find a good compromise in jamaica.
maycation just stepped up to a WHOLE new level.
oh good god - i just had the realization that i have to put on a bikini in one week. scary shit.
and NO - i haven't forgotten to update you all on my tennessee trip - i'll post some pictures soon!
