Sorry I didn't update sooner, I thought I did. Well, after an overnight trip we are back (Thurs/Friday). We were so busy after we got back that I am only just now getting caught up. I got to see Niagara from the US side only *plz dont ask why we never made it into Canada*, but are planning to make a return visit to go to the other side and stay in Toronto for a few days. I got all misty eyed over seeing Horseshoe Falls, something that has been on my "to do before I die" list for as long as I can remember. Pictures will never capture the true majesty of God's creation in the falls. I guess we better get to searching on the travel deals available for October *our anniversary* so we can get back up to the falls and have a real vacation.

We are actually on our way to canada! check in again at the falls.

Whoooo! We are one month closer to our lovely out of town date weekend. We had our choice of 3 hotels in the area where his cousin is getting married. I didn't choose the  Hilton Head rentals because they were out of our price range this time. I got something nice, but well within our budget down the road a bit. I think it's more economical to put our money into the activities that we are going to find out there. I think I want to visit Martha's Vineyard. That would be so awesome.

The planning has begun for our next trip to Puerto Rico. This time we would get twelve full days + 2 days of travel. That's right a 2 week vacation. I can hardly contain my joy. We are planning it for early April...so the day after hubby's birthday and I would still be down there for my birthday on the 11th.

What do I want to do? I plan to hit up Mayaguez again to see the lovely Luna Lunera. I also want to see more of the sights of Puerto Rico the second week we are there. The first week will be full of family like last time. This time we get a week all to ourselves (for the most part). I love that. The kid is learning more Spanish but he is reluctant. Why? I don't know. When he gets back to PR he will be 5 years old and I am sure that the other kids will teach him some things while he is there.

I, on the other hand, am trying to brush up on Spanish *again* and remember more this time than last time. I hope that I retained something. It hasn't been THAT long since last I was surrounded by Spanish. I also love that everyone talks slowly to me b/c I am an outsider. It's heaps of fun.

If you had a time machine, which year would you travel to and why?

If I had a time machine I would go back to the year Christ was born so I could see Him as a baby. Then I would go up to when He did the sermon on the Mount and stick around for the miracle of the fish and loaves. I would probably seek out one of the woman apostles so I could peek over their shoulders.

Next I would get myself up to when Helen of Troy and Cleopatra were around. I would have to see them in all their radiant glory.

I think I would be pretty content with that trip. I might make a few other stops as I thought of them. Like, I would probably go slap Sacajawea for what she was about to do by leading Lewis and Clark farther inland, probably take my time to go see what all my ancestors were doing in NJ. Yeah, that would be awesome. Make some resemblance checks, you know, to see how much I really look like my full blooded ancestors.

Where is the farthest you have ever been away from home? Did you get homesick?

Puerto Rico is the farthest I have been from home. I didn't get homesick, didn't have the time. I was having too much fun in the hot beauty that is PR.
