John went into work one day last week and the vacation computer system that hasn't been working for months was fixed. He logged in and noticed he has over 2 weeks of vacation time saved up that he MUST use before March. So he looked at the calendar and got approved for 2 straight weeks off at the beginning of February.
He came home that night and woke me up at 2am to tell me the exciting news. We started throwing around ideas of what to do with this huge chunk of time. It finally dawned on us that this was the first time that we had off together in years. We haven't had this kind of time in the decade since leaving Guam and we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to go back to visit John's family there and to show Peter where his daddy grew up.
We called John's parents and they were all in and got the ball rolling for us. We now have tickets in hand, a pet-sitter arranged, and I'm busy digging out the shorts and tank tops.
We are SO excited! Guam is John's home and where we first met and fell in love. We can't wait to visit and play tourist this time. It's less than 3 weeks away!!! We are dreaming of island food, beaches, showing Peter the ocean, and relaxing for a few weeks. We can't wait!!!
