Adventures of a Globetrotter

Or almost globetrotters.

I have been across an ocean twice, once to Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and Amsterdam on a school trip, and again to Portugal for a previous job. I have also been to Canada a handful of times and to many of the states in the Midwest and East. Jake has never even been to Canada, but he's got me topped on the number of states he's been to.

I posted last week about the trip we won to Costa Rica, which we are SO excited for!! I decided to splurge on something even more lavish and exciting. The company the trip to Costa Rica was with offers multiple trips at discounted rates for patrons who agree to sit through a half day of a high pressure sales pitch about time shares. I read and re-read and listened and re-asked question to make sure there were no hidden costs before I agreed to spend $699 on: a 4 day 3 night cruise in the Bahamas, 4 day 3 nights at both Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, 4 days 3 nights in Puerto Valletra, Mexico, and 3 days 2 nights in Las Vegas.

This is the same company that my friends Jeannie and Justin have been travelling with since before they were married. In fact, they went on the cruise for their 1 year anniversary. Neato completo, huh?

We have 18 months to book the first trip, and after that the others are negotiable to a point, and there are no black-out dates. We have not actually decided on anything, but I think we just might go on a cruise for our honeymoon! That is, if I can talk Jake into inviting his parents along too!!
