It is 6:00am on Christmas morning and we are getting ready to leave for our month long vacation. Our itinerary includes; Mexico City, Phoenix, San Diego, A cruise to Cabo San Lucas, and Puebla, Mexico.
I am nervous wreck right now for the possibility of one or more of our flights being cancelled. Yesterday, 50% of the flights in and out of Paris were cancelled due to weather and shortage of the de-icing fluid. Right now all of our flights are "on-time" but I think it is too early to tell how the day will go. Fingers crossed!
Besides that I am sooooo excited. Excited A) Because I love flying! While most people can't stand the idea of sitting in an economy seat for 12+ hours....I rather like it. I mean, I would much prefer to be in Business or better yet First but I still love flying. Flyings mean that you get to go to the airport and I LOVE THE AIRPORT! It is filled with people from all over the world going all over the world. There are restaurants, bars, shops, and lots of opportunities for people watching. Also, going to the airport mean that you get to go on vacation (usually) B) I am really excited to see my parents in person for the first time in 4 years and for them to meet Eduardo for the first time. I am really excited about this one and maybe even a little nervous. C) I am excited to see Eduardo's family and spend Christmas day (evening if the flights go OK) and New Year's with them. Since meeting them they have accepted me into their family and always treated me like one of their own and for that I am truly thankful for! D) To speak and practice my Spanish more. I am pretty good at speaking Spanish now and even get to practice it here in Prague at my job but sometimes I think I feel it slipping away...but that is always the case and after a couple days in Mexico, it all comes right back. (Eduardo doesn't have the patience to talk to me in Spanish...really!) E) To see Lola. I haven't seen Lola in almost 3 years. Considering that she is 4...that is pretty significant. I feel like this time I will be meeting her for the first time. I would also be excited about seeing Bella but sadly she is not coming on the cruise. F) To feel warm weather! Winter started nearly 2.5 months ago here and I am tired of snow, - temperatures, putting on and taking off the tons of shit that is required to stay warm out there. It will be so nice just to feel the sun, get some rays and not feel like my face is going to fall off!
I am also so happy that I will get to spend so much time with Eduardo. He is my partner and best friend! I love you Eduardo!
30 minuets until the cab is here! Fingers crossed!!!
