I'm getting soooooo excited! We're going to San Diego this Sunday through Wednesday, and I can't wait! We haven't been on a family vacation (aside from camping in Malibu last August) for three years. The last time we also went to San Diego.
We have reserved a suite (totally wanted a suite--otherwise you just twiddle your thumbs after the kids go to bed: BOOOORING!). A suite with a kitchenette, so we can save money. We'll eat breakfast and dinner at the suite, and have lunch wherever it's convenient. Lest you feel sorry for me that poor li'l ol' me has to cook on her vacation--never fear! I would never do that to myself, LOL! I cooked double tonight and will cook double tomorrow night--except that tomorrow the crock pot will cook dinner for me :) I will freeze everything, and thaw it as we need it on the trip. We WILL have to cook rice--I am married to a Filipino, and he needs his rice fix on a daily basis :), but that's no big deal at all ... it cooks itself in the rice cooker.
And I'm also so excited because I got the suite for $109.00 per night. Yeah me! They first quoted me $119.00 (which was also excellent compared to everything else I saw on the internet). This one I called directly (didn't find it on the internet). After making the reservation for $119.00, I decided to check their website online--and discovered that the online rate was only $109.00. So I called back and explained the situation. "Oh, okay, let me fix that for you. (slight pause) Okay, your room is $109.00 per night." "Okay, thank you :)"
"What are we going to do in San Diego?" you ask. Why, let me tell you! We will go to SeaWorld Sunday and Monday (they have a "2 days for the price of 1" thing going). Tuesday we will venture into the San Diego WildAnimalPark, and Wednesday we'll go to the beach before coming "back down to Earth."
