So as I have been telling everyone I come in contact with....4 more alarm clocks until my big vacation of the year, I don't have to tell you how desperately I need this one. Yes, we all need a break from society, uh I mean, reality...but this has got to be one well deserved getaway. As I sit and write this, my head is pounding from the pressure of Hurricane Hanna moving our way up the east coast. My body has become putty and my eyes burn as though I have been staring at the sun all day.
But, no worries. Storm pressure systems, hurricanes and yes...Wedding Anniversary vacation getaways all have something in common. Bittersweet. I am not one to take many risks, but this is one, well, sort of traditional risk for me and my husband. This year we are celebrating ten years of wedded bliss and as I look back on our trips, I realize most were surrounded by some sort of storm system. Our honeymoon to Cancun; leaving as the black clouds moved in and the plane wouldn't start. Five years; the first time for my husband on a cruise ship. We headed north and into a storm that rocked the ship more than I have ever seen. In an almost sarcastic manner, the staff decided to use Titanic as the theme for the formal dinner. Nice touch Royal Caribbean.
Yes, we got married during hurricane season and that has a lot to do with it. But, I also like to think that our passionate, opinionated, many times, argumentative nature towards each other is almost so powerful that it follows us when we celebrate our love for one another. Silly, to you maybe, but for me, it all means something.
So upon my return, I will be sure to update you with the pictures and stories of what just may be our most interesting getaway yet. In the meantime, thank Hurricane Ike for us and please tell Josephine to keep heading North.
