traveling superhero

We went on a trip. I should clarify, my husband and I went on a trip with his company. We left on Wednesday morning along with 500 or so fellow co-workers and their guests to travel to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

This would be a good time to point out that we have never left the country before. We hadn't even really taken a honey moon. The number of times that we have flown on one hand and that would include both of us added together.

This trip was exhausting! I had to pack for us, plan where the children would be and when, pack bags for them and make sure that anything they could need would be there. We needed passports, signed over medical consent for the children and even wrote a will so if the worst should happen the children would be provided for.

We packed an entire drug store on the advice of others when they heard that we were traveling to a third world country.

As the date got closer, the children misbehaved more. they knew we were leaving and I can only guess that they perhaps felt we may not return. I truelly believed that once on the plane, I would be able to relax. That was not the case. I will save that for the next blog. I can tell you that nothing terrible happened. We all survived and will live to travel again.
