we booked a vacation in november to celebrate my dear friend, claire's 'dirty thirty' as she calls it. i don't think there will be anything dirty about it really...we're all pretty conservative...except chel...she's not so conservative. hahaha! (she does not read this blog so i can say that).
for claire's 30th birthday, most of the gang will be going on.....
A CRUISE!
the itinerary
i'm more excited about the company than the cruise, really. the last time i went on vacation with my friends was in 2004. they have all gone on trips together but since i got married in 2005, then had a baby in 2006...well, that limits the time you get to spend with your friends. now that michelle is bigger, we can take her with us pretty much anywhere!
when claire first brought up the idea of the cruise, paul's response was, 'i would love to go on a cruise with friends...' naisip ko, 'yey! he doesn't need me to convince him anymore!' but then we found out the cruise is departing from florida so that means we have to pay extra for airfare...the cruise itself isn't very expensive, but with the airfare, we're paying double.
so i told paul that i will bake pies like crazy to pay for the vacation and he said, 'ok!'
i booked the airline tickets first because airfare always goes up and scouted for the best deal on the cruise. we saved $200 by going with a travel agent vs booking directly with holland america.
we will be pulling michelle out from school for a week and we will all get to enjoy some sunshine in the caribbean this fall!
sama kayo!!!
