The wheels are up....

We left our house today around 1 and went to the airport. Shawn and I were pretty nervous all morning trying to make sure everything was taken care of. The nerves, atop our excitement over the SAINTS winning, made for an interesting morning. Mysti took us to the airport (thanks Mysti!) and took a cute picture of us before she left but I put my camera cord in my checked bag so I can't upload a picture! The flight to LAX was easy and now we wait 4 hours before the 10 hour flight to Nadi! We won't have Internet access at Turtle Island but I will hopefully be able to post a quick something when we land in Nadi. Then I will share all about Turtle Island (Tina just told me that it is one of the most romantic places on earth!) when we get to New Zealand. The trip is actually happening! I miss everyone!

  2. Sounds like the Foo Fighters' lyrics Wheels, but much more cheery.

    We look forward to living vicariously through you and Shawn, and what a way to kick off the trip - with a SAINTS victory. That ought to set the tone for the whole trip!

  4. :-(

    I am so upset. I had a dream last night that I saw you two at a party and I kept trying to get to Shawn to tell him bye. But there was always something in my way. I never made it to him.

    I tried calling both of your phones this morning and it went straight to voicemail. So I came to your blog to find that you had already left. :-(

    Bye Shawn.

  7. You are off to experience parts of the world we've only heard about. I am so excited for you! I'm sure you're on the beach right now soaking up that lucious island sun and listening to the waves. Bon Voyage and Happy Valentine's Day!

  11. I am ready for a post about Fiji. And some pictures. I know you had a blast! Mate, I sure do miss you. And, I hope New Zealand is even funner than Fiji. You are going to have so many storeis to tell it will take us hours and hours of talking when you get back (sorry, Shawn, but we may go over on our minutes...go easy on her!).
