This is an overdue post …
Kate’s 30th birthday gift to me was a vacation. While I knew we were going away from March 19th through the 23rd I had no idea where we were going. The only thing I knew well ahead of time was that I should pack for warm weather and that was all I needed. I am not usually the kind of person who likes surprises however this was one I could sink my teeth into as I knew it wouldn’t end up with me wearing a funny hat in a public place … then again, I did end up doing that …
Kate and John F. managed to pull of a miracle. Both myself and Rachel (John’s wife) turned 30 within six weeks of each other. Kate and John worked together and got us both on a “surprise” vacation together. Rachel and I knew the other one was going on a surprise vacation but we didn’t know we’d be going on vacation together.
Kate and I got our luggage and made our way towards the airport shuttle bus. Kate told me we had to make our way to another terminal to connect with our transportation. As I was walking off the bus there Rachel and John were standing at the terminal stop. Rachel and I were completely surprised and absolutely goofy to each see the other couple standing there.
So here we are, giddy as a bunch of school girls and hugging each other making a huge teary eyed scene at the Fort Lauderdale airport still with no idea where we’re going or what we’re doing. We’re then informed that we’re going on a cruise together to Cozumel Mexico. As there is no place in the world I’d rather be then on a cruise ship I was so overly stoked that I became as hyper active as a 5 year old on 18 snickers bars.
We had a phenomenal time on the cruise together. Every day and every night was another adventure. It was so very enjoyable and stress relieving. I was very sad that we couldn’t stay in that world of happiness for longer but knew we had to get back to reality.
