Thoughts for Thursday

We're going on vacation! K and I have been talking about planning an August vacation for weeks, but this past weekend we finally settled on Boston. (Pictured below. . .some historic building on the Freedom Trail.) I'm really excited about our trip--I haven't been there in 5+ years, and he's never been.

I may love planning vacation as much as actually going. Lately all my spare time has been spent chasing travel deals to find inexpensive but nice hotels in good locations. I like to compare all the prices I can find from every discount travel site out there, plus the hotel website rates, and then search for online coupons. Last night I booked our hotel for $20 cheaper/night than the lowest discount travel site price, thanks to a random coupon code I found. Whooo! Next I'll be figuring out options for what to do, where to go and what's going on in the evenings.

Possibly best of all? Right now, the high temperature in Boston is about 82 degrees. I bet it's even cooler in two weeks.

ah, here is the reason behind the picture! Yay for trips and how fun to go to Boston. I have always wanted to go up there. Not only for the interesting history and all, but the accents everyone's got. :)

Can't wait to see pictures from your trip.

I need to move your blog link higher in my blog folder, I keep forgetting about you! Sorry!!

Ohh, I have always wanted to go to Boston. Can't wait to hear about it and see pics.

I am going to have to tell DH that I am not the only travel planning nerd. I could have wrote that paragraph practically word for word about planning the trip. I get so excited! I had to put a halt on my planning for our trip in September because DH threatened that I better not have every second of every day planned out for him. :)
