My friend and I were talking about a week ago about how we can’t wait until our children are a little older and we can take the well needed vacation.  She wants to go to Hawaii or go on a cruise.  I don’t care where I go as long as I am kid free.  LOL!  I love my kids and right now I wouldn’t be able to leave them.  I am already getting emotional when I think of leaving them for the few nights while I am in the hospital.  However, in 4 yrs or so when Lil Max is 4, Isabel is 5 1/2, Lil Tony is 6 1/2 and Nicki is 16 I am sure I will be ready for a well needed adult vacation. 

If it were just Tony and I going I wouldn’t mind looking into some las vegas resorts. We went to Vegas a couple years ago prior to living there for a year and before any kids.  Well I had Nicki but she was spending the summer in Illinois with family.  We had a great time and I think I would enjoy it again.  Since we are trying to plan a vacation with friends we may just go to Hawaii.  Don’t get me wrong, I am sure I will have a great time, I think it was just a little more expensive than we originally planned on spending on a vacation. 

We are planning the trip for 4 yrs from now so we have time to save.  My friend is really excited about it and has been doing some research over the last week.  Trying to find good deals and deciding on whether we should get hotel rooms or a condo.  We will be there for a week so we thought the best way to go is a condo.  Turns out that is the cheaper way to go. 

I am really looking forward to a vacation, I just hope we can save the money up to go.  If we start now and save a little something monthly maybe it won’t be so difficult.  It feels a bit weird to plan something for 4 yrs from now with friends.  Tony and I don’t have the best track record of staying anywhere for any length of time.  We PLAN on staying here for a long time but who can tell what may be in our future or our friends future for that matter.  Hopefully all will work out and in 4 yrs from now I will be sipping an alcoholic beverage chilling on the beach!
