So the Packing Begins...

Just getting back from a crazy weekend in Sin City (Las Vegas) it is now time to start packing for the big trip!

I cant even tell you the list of things that need to be done in 2 days!
I have already started a check list to make sure that I don't forget anything because I am one of the most forgetful of all.. and I always forget something that is very important.
Having to pack for really warm weather.. then cold weather and at the same time only taking one big suitcase and my carry-on.. yeah.. we shall see how that works out cause we all know how us "girls" pack the entire room.. LOL

As I mentioned before I was on the "Hunt" for those travel toilet seat covers.. and guesss what! I found them at my local Rite Aide.. who would have thunk it... and it was the last place I checked. I also picked up some hand sanitizer and all the little fun travel nic naks.


I sat at work today and made my packing list of all the things that need to be on that plane with me, of course the list was made on a GIANT pink Post It.. and looks quite long but really isn't when you are packing for two complete different climates.

In the next two days I have to do a new set of "Shellac" on my nails.. I'm thinking of white tips to make it easy and simple.. and the normal red sparkly on my toes with white polka dots to add my flair to it. Then I have to clean.. clean.. and clean.. do laundry (praying that we get our washer fixed today because I don't have money to go to the laundry mat again). LOL

Soo.. now I am just counting down the hours and trying to remember NOT to forget anything but we all know when you do that.. you always forget something.

Well all, Its almost time..  countin down the hours.. minutes.. and seconds!

Seven Days and Counting.....

First off I would like to thank everyone who is following my blog, I think this is the best way to let all my friends and family see everything that is happening in real time and not having to upload an enormous amount of pictures and video to send to a grip load of people, so this makes it very easy to see what is happening when it happens!

Seven days... seven days... can you believe it! Not to mention that I will be in Vegas this weekend celebrating Craig's 21st B-day (Gio's little brother)... so packing and cleaning and everything else that needs to be done needs to happen NOW!

I am still on the hunt for those travel "seat protectors", yes I am one of those that likes to have a kit that includes: hand sanitizer, wipes for face and body, band aides, toilet paper, seat protectors and lotion in my purse. I think when traveling it is very important to be prepared and I am guilty of having most of these items in my purse now (They call my bag the Merry Poppins Bag cause I have almost everything you could possibly need)

There is just sooooo much going on right now and to think of all the things that I need pack gives me a headache.. lol. We are all super excited for our trip and I cant wait till I am on the beach with a bucket of ice cold beer by my side, relaxing and letting the ocean breeze take me in and out of siestas. From what I have been told, the weather in Cartagena is much like Hawaii and boy did I love Hawaii. I am excited for all the sight seeing we will do.. lots have been planned from what I am hearing... whoooohooo for GOOD walking shoes! Anyone have any good recommendations?

This is a long awaited vacation and LONG awaited Journey back home for Giovanny... after almost 24 or 25 years in this country.. he will finally be able to go back and see where he comes from! Wooooooohoooo...

Ohhhh.. and I hear the Empanadas from the lady around the corner are to DIE for.. so that's a GIANT plussss too.. lol (thanks Craig for the inside tip)

Till the next post friends!
Toodlez!

Im ready.. bring on the beaches and warm weather...
