So, I am going to California in 36 hours. I'm just a little excited and decided I should blog about it. For some reason, vacations always bring some kind of challenge for me. The preparation for this particular trip has gone like this:
1. Took my car in for it's yearly safety inspection/registration (we're driving my car to CA) and ended up replacing the front brakes, thermostat and a few belts...$700 later, we are good to go.
2. Discover that my credit card has been compromised (thank you Michael's craft store), and therefore cancelled immediately. Good and bad timing. Glad this didn't happen during my trip, but I wouldn't have minded it happening after...or not at all. My new card won't arrive until later this week when I am already on vacation. Considering the hotel reservation was on this card, I had to make some phone calls.
3. Looking at my bank statement, I realize my account thinks I am already in Cali. Two ATM transactions for $300 total took place in Van Nuys, CA. Could have been worse, but again, thank you Michael's craft store for giving out my information. This meant more phone calls and some paperwork to fill out.
With all the negative, I can't help but think of all the positive that will come from this trip...
Being with my best friends (minus Wendi, she will be missed but being a mommy is much more important), Disneyland, Angel's baseball game, Hollywood, the beach, Santa Monica pier, sun, shopping, laying out, laughing non-stop, eating delicious food, wearing new swimsuits, taking lots of pictures, dancing to my favorite music, falling asleep to cheesy movies, sunsets over the ocean...this all adds up to make a trip to remember.
Here we come California, are you ready for us?
