In nine days I leave for a 7 night/6 day cruise to Keywest and the Bahamas! My friends and I have been planning on this for several months now and I can't believe the day is actually nearing. There's so much to do when planning a trip. You have to choose the best one for you and your money. You have to save up that money, which can take awhile depending on your means. Buying clothes (that's the fun part) and essentials that will get you through the week.
But the anticipation of it all has to be half the fun of it!!! There's not a day or time when the girls and I are together that we don't talk about it. It's so exciting to think about all the things that you might do and to plan/layout all the outfits that you want to take with you. Once you are actually on vacation everything seems to go by so fast.
I always tend to over pack. But, I'd rather have too much than to have forgotten something. Some people can pick out their outfits before hand for each day. I have to bring options. You never know what mood you might be in or if plans change you want to be prepared for whatever.
I've only been on one cruise before four years ago with my mom. It was THE best vacation I've ever been on. It was just so relaxing. They had so much to offer if you wanted to, but also you could do nothing. That's the best part about it, there's no set schedule you have to keep. I definitely recommend going on cruise if you haven't. You don't have to go on a long one, they have some really affordable ones that are three and four day. If you go in the off season even the 7 day cruises aren't bad.
ENUGGET: Enjoy the planning. I know it can be stressful at times, but enjoy the anticipation of it all. If you are planning a trip this summer I hope that you have a blast, be careful, and enjoy it. It never last as long as you want it to.
