Journal Entry: Sunday, October 3, 2010
Today is the beginning of our first "official" family vacation ever! Over the past four years we have been on trips but many of those trips were either day trips of weekend trips. Since we moved to SK in March of 2008, we have had four family trips to PEI but those rips just don't seem to qualify as an actual vacation. Also, every trip we have had to PEI has been for a wedding so we didn't even get to pick when we went on these trips. We did enjoy our visits with our family and friends with each trip to PEI but we are very excited for what we a calling a "real" vacation.
There has been much planning for this vacation and we are certain it will be well worth it. We started planning this vacation with our friends Pernell and Chantel in November of 2009. When we said that we thought we would go to Florida for vacation, they immediately said that they'd love to join us. the planning officially began in March of 2010 when Stephanie and Matt also said that they would like to join us. After many phone calls and lots of emails, we were able to decide on travel dates, accommodations, etc. So, here we are, almost a year later and we are ready to go.
This afternoon, Cory, Cameron and myself left Sturgis and headed for Regina. We are staying over night in Regina, as our flight leaves very early in the morning and we chose not to drive to the airport in the middle of the night. Hopefully some day in the not so distant future, we will live closer to an airport. I suppose we were a little spoiled by living only minutes from the airport in PEI.
We are currently sitting in our hotel room contemplating a snack before bedtime, as Cameron is telling us that he is hungry. We are also hoping for an early bedtime for all of us because 4am will be here before we know it. I have everything organized for the morning so hopefully all will go smoothly. I am looking forward to writing about our family vacation to Orlando, Fl so that we can read about if years from now.
