Sorry it's been a while since I been here! Been busy writing out my trip report from May (oops) before I start posting it. I'm about half way through.
How are you feeling now 7 days away????? I mean seriously, I can't believe it's almost here. The time truly does fly right before. I remember that feeling a year ago. You're going to have a blast though and everything will be worth it!
How did the dress work out? I hate alterations...I wish they didn't make one last take in before I took mine, not thinking hello it's going to be massivly hot in Florida and my body will probably swell a little bit with the heat....oh well! If that's the only thing with your dress then you're right it won't be bad at all!
And that's awesome that you booked the Wild Africa Trek!!!! It'll be worth that $600!
All good things to say here about Blue Man Group as well. I saw them my senior year of high school up in Boston. Granted that was 7 years ago but it was an awesome show, you will love them!
Can't believe it's almost here!!!!!!!!!
Oh nice - I want to see your TR! I saw some of the pics you posted on Facebook, but it's not the same, lol.
I can't believe it's Monday and we're leaving Friday. I'm feeling slightly panicky today that I'm going to forget something. We're already fully packed, so we only have to cross check the list on Thursday night, but still.
Oh, and I have a sunburn dilemma. I ended up burnt by accident and now have lines from a tank top...I'm also still burned on my shoulders and now my upper arms, except for a small area from my t-shirt. And of course I have a strapless gown. I think my best option here is to get sunless tanner and "paint" it in, but I think that will be a disaster! Goofy things like this only happen to me. And honestly, I'll do the best I can (that's what photoshop is for!), but I am not quite sure what to do. I'd do a spray tan since they can be very specific and "paint" it in, but if I did it on Thursday before leaving on Friday and the wedding isn't until Tuesday, I'm pretty sure it would be peeling off by then.
Do you think the sunless tanning cream is the way to go? I honesty don't see another option (unless I want to just ruin all my skin and get burnt to a crisp all over...melanoma doesn't sound appealing!).
The dress is perfect, thanks I shipped it to Carolyn Allen's last Tuesday and they got it on Thursday, so that's done (whew!). Everything that is supposed to be shipped has been received and is good to go, so I can cross them off my list.
I planned on shedding a few pounds before the wedding, knowing I'd gain a few during the trip...totally hasn't worked out. I put on 2 lbs, instead, lol. It won't affect my dress, but still! I have Spanx too, so I know I'm going to be fine. Still, I get nervous! I'm going to eat super carefully those first few days of the trip, then I can pig out after Tuesday
I am super pumped for Universal and Blue Man Group. I think it'll be a nice break. My brother wanted me to see them in Boston with him last year (he lives just outside of Boston) and we couldn't go - maybe next time, especially if we like the show in Orlando.
I'm working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday this week (although I am SO mentally already on vacation), so I suppose I should get to work...at least it'll make these last few days go by faster!
