Welcome to the Nothing ever goes right but who cares! Report. Im writing this for a couple of reasons, one I love my friends on the DIS and promised my November 2008 buddies a report of some kind, and two my DBF (Adam) and I got engaged on our trip. I am so excited about the engagement but I dont even know where to begin as far as planning a wedding is concerned. I should also mention the DF and I bought a house together and are still in the process of unpacking remodeling, so as far as a wedding is concerned we are not planning on anything until atleast 2010. So that being said lets get into the report
I was so excited for this vacation, I had everything planned and couldnt wait to get on the plane. The day before we left was Nov. 1st and I had a hair appointment scheduled for 10 that morning so I could have my hair colored. **side note** I had a feeling that the then DBF was up to something due to some weird behavior the few days leading up to the vacation so it was very very important to me to look my best! Anyway I went in to see my hairdresser who Ive been seeing for 5 years and was telling her all about how excited I was for my trip. I have a hard time sitting still and was bobbing my head around to the tune of the mickey mouse club when the hair dye started to drip down my head. No biggie I thought, it happens all the time itll come off with that dye remover stuff later. **another side not** please notice the title of this report. So DBF came to pick me up after my hair was all done and my hair dresser said oh honey come here let me get that dye off of your forehead!You dont want to look like that in pictures! She came at me with a face cloth full of dye remover and started to scrub my head. This had been done many times before to me but it especially stung this time. I didnt think too much about it and we left the salon. On the drive home DBF looked over at me and said ummm I think you should take a look at your forehead it doesnt look too good! I pulled down the visor mirror and to my horror the dye remover had burned the skin right off of my forehead!!! I cried for a good 20 mins. How could this have happened? Id gone to the same hairdresser and used the same products for 5 years and this time I end up looking like a burn victim?? Ok Ok, I wasnt going to let this small little inconvenience completely ruin this trip that Id been planning for over a year. So like a good girl I sucked it up and finished packing.
The next morning we woke up at 5am and packed up the car and left for the airport. We got to the airport and DBF was insisting that he carry the carry-on backpack. So I let him have it, heck what did I want to carry it for anyway? We went over to the café and had some Dunkin for breakfast before heading through security. We finished breakfast and headed over to security. We got the the front of the line and we took off our shoes and put everything including the backpack onto the xray machine. I was waiting for the attendent to wave me through the metal detector when I heard in the nastiest voice Huh, looks like someone is getting a nice engagement ring on their vacation. . I was completely stunned. I couldnt move. I looked back at DBF who looked like he was either going to beat the man or cry and I just said oh my god. We both walked through the metal detector and over to our gate without saying a word. I didnt know what to do. I grabbed my cell phone and ran to the bathroom crying. I called and woke my mother and told her what happened. She told me to stop crying and to go be with Adam. She said he was upset enough and I would make it worse if he saw me this upset. So I washed my face and walked over to security and expained what happened to a manger who looked like she could give a flying elephants butt and then returned to my seat at the gate next to Adam. I hugged him and told him that the guy was a jerk and not to worry about it. I told him I still didnt know what it looked like or how he was going to ask so to just forget it even happened. I also made him laugh alittle when I said honestly, did you think you could as me of all people to marry you without something going wrong?? HELLOOOO look at my forehead! Im bad luck! He said he was ok (I knew he still wasnt) and we boarded the plane.
During the flight I got his mind off of what had happened, we played hang man, and tic tac toe, and talked about what we were going to do once we got to the hotel. Once we got off of the plane we had honestly forgotten (as much as we could) about the terrible event at security. We walked over to the ME podium and got right on the bus headed for the AKV, no wait at all! I was so excited I was bouncing up and down in my seat. We were the last to be dropped off and I couldnt believe the resort. What a beautiful place. We walked into the lobby and our mouths hit the floor! **side not** AKV is a HUGE upgrade from our 2007 trip when we stayed at ASSp. Here are some pictures
We went to our room and I couldnt believe the sights! We had a savannah view room! I was so excited.
After we got settled into our room we went on alittle exploration of the hotel. It was magnificent. We hung out by the pool and then headed back to the room. Our luggage had arrived from ME so we got ready for our ADR at Boma that night. We went alittle early but they seated us within a few mins. What an awesome dinner we had! It was yummy! I was worried DBF wouldnt like it but he was a good sport and tried alittle of everything and he thought it was great. After dinner we went back up to the room and got into bed. We put on the TV and watched the TOP7 with stacey (DBF likes her lol) and fell asleep.
This looks like a good place to stop for right now but one more things you as readers should know. This isnt your average trip report. Once the trip report is over Im going to be needing your help! My family is , for lack of a better term, pretty immature. My sisters are too young and my mother is to into herself lately to help me with anything that has to do with a wedding. I was talking to my boss at work the other day about throwing an engagement party and she was appauled that I was throwing one for myself. But again nothing in my life goes as planned which is not always a bad thing so Im going to need the help and advice of you guys to help with all things wedding once the trip report part is over everyone game?
