Yippeee !!! We just hit went down to double digits a few days ago, and the clock is tickin' down ! I try to make sure I do a few things before each vacation; and two that need mentioning are: 1) to get really excited before the vacation, because I know how I sometimes feel afterwards (depressed of course; but soon after I start saving for my next vacation, and then I'm happy again--it's a great mood cycle), and 2) to be very thankful that I/we have the money, time, health, etc to be able to enjoy a vacation of my/our choosing with loved ones.
Our trip in October will be the first for my DS4, and he'll have his brother and sister (9 and 6) who are repeat visitors, to share the fun with.
Now I run to my computer every day to see the new countdown numbers, like its going to move faster than 1 day every 24 hours. If I forget to look at it one day, I get overly excited the next day. I need some mental help!
My husband thinks I'm crazy because I have numbered the days on every calendar in the house... I can't wait...everything is paid for, now I'm just tapping my toes!
