Counting down the days...

Vacation is just around the corner. We haven't taken this long of a vacation, uh, never? A is taking an entire month off from work (mostly just because we would not be able to get back to Alaska in time for his shift that month). I am taking 3 weeks off from work. It should be glorious... But I imagine it will be all intense and busy as hell...

We are running into a time crunch... A will be home for 8 days this month, then he won't be back until 3 days before vacation. That means that he has to get the airplane in the air this rotation home... And, of course, the airport finally decided to pave in front of the new hangers... However, this is what it currently looks like...
Not exactly conducive to getting the plane out of the hanger... So, of course, he is stressing...

I, on the other hand, have the lovely task of getting my house ready for company... We have lived here over a year, but we haven't "settled in" yet. I think it is because in the last 8 years, we have not stayed in one location longer that a year and a half, and I'm so used to everything still being packed... So I am going through boxes and hanging up stuff and throwing out garbage... It's great fun... Especially when you are restricted from your doctor because of a recent back injury that causes you not to be able to breath or sleep at night... But that's besides the point... On the plus side, I'm getting stuff cleaned up so it looks like we actually live here.

We will have 2 full days in Washington, where we will have the airplane go through it's annual inspection before we continue to Utah. My lovely husband will be dealing with that, while I rest up at the hotel. I wonder if they have a spa...

Then it's on to visit family... First, one side for 4 days, then another side for 3... Then we'll meet up with yet another side on our way back home, where we will meet even more when we get home... It should be great fun! I'll post as we go along so y'all can keep up with us...

That is, if everything goes as planned and I haven't dropped from exhaustion first, or gone completely insane...

We're going to see YOU, not your house, so don't stress. :) Just take care of yourself & feel better.
