how could i forget?!

we booked our honeymoon!!!!
ok, well, not the WHOLE thing...
but we've put our deposit down on the cruise and have payed for our hotel!

ok, here's the plan...
we definitely wanted to go on a cruise, but with the way the one we wanted to go on was set up, there was no way we were going to make it in time to get down there in order to catch the cruise unless we didn't go to sleep on saturday night and left at like 2 or 3 in the morning. i'm sorry. it doesn't work that way, people! i wanted to be able to get up, and just get down there whenever we wanted to... well, unfortunately, the people who set up flights did NOT like that idea. come on, people, it's our honeymoon...everyone should be at our beck and call. ok, maybe not ;)

anyways, here's a bit of a backstory for you -
when i was 13, i went to disney for my first and only time. when we were walking through the streets, there was a couple where the man had on a black top hat with mickey ears and the woman had on white minnie ears with a veil. ever since then (no joke!), i've wanted to honeymoon at disney. cheesy, i know. but it's the truth...

ok, back to now...
since we didn't want to be rushed the sunday after the wedding, we've decided to drive down to orlando on sunday - i tried to convince tom to only drive halfway, but he has insisted that he wants to go the whole way on sunday. but that way we don't really have a specific timeline - just to be there on sunday at some point! :) we are staying at the omni hotel - it's awesome! with a 850-ft lazy river!! i know what i'll be doing after hitting up the parks...relaxing on that river!

so we are going to stay there for 7 nights - hitting up disneyworld & seaworld (tom has never been to seaworld!!!!) and doing whatever the heck we want to until the next sunday.

and then...we are going on the cruise that we wanted to go on in the beginning. leaving out of port canaveral in orlando and heading to the bahamas for 4 more days of awesomeness!!! :)

i'm so excited about it! i know it'll most likely be the last 2-wk vacation we'll get to go on for a while, so i'm hoping it'll get here soon...even though i have a TON of stuff to do before then!

hopefully i'll have a chance to share my new years resolutions tomorrow...
whoohoo for 2010!!
