Finally, only 6 days until check in! After a long 292 day countdown (the kids reminded me) we are finally here. Five years ago, we had this same trip planned with our best friends in the world and their two daughters and our kids. At three month out, it had to be cancelled. So much disappointment. We (my best friend, really more like a sister to me) and I decided to try it again. Two weeks ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. They set her surgery date for this Friday. She has insisted I still take her girls and let her mother in law take the first week of care. This way they will be cared for and she wont worry about them seeing her in distress. We are all excited but also sad to go without her. I told her that three times is a charm and she and I will take the kids when it's all over next year! Please send pixie dust her way for a speedy recovery and healthy outcome!
