From one corner to the other!

Distance between Anchorage and Orlando ? ? ? ?
3808 MILES

And in two days, we begin our travel to get there . . . first stopping in Seattle for a "layover" that necessitates a night in a hotel - and we'll arrive in sunny Orlando Monday evening. The kids can't wait to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (among other parks also) . . . I can't wait to see my family . . . Dan can't wait to golf . . . it's going to be fabulous!!!

I'm in the middle of an icky cold that has already taken my voice for three days last week and threatens to take it again today. My skin is so darn dry and itchy, my fingers are cracking. We didn't ease into winter this year - it was dumped on us and it's been cold!!! So this little va-cay is SO very needed.

I usually don't complain (too) bad about Alaska - for the most part, I'm an indoor girl anyway . . . so who cares as long as my light bulbs don't burn out and my on demand is pushing heat? BUT this year - it's time . . . we've had two not so exciting summers in a row and in the middle of the second drastic winter. It's time I get warm all the way to the core.

Our home is going to be taken care of by some very dear friends, my shop is in Vacation mode, Primary is in tender hands, all that's left to do is tie some short loose ends and we're off!!!!!!!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
