Booked and Ready for the Trip

Today was a long day, but we finally got almost everything done that we needed before the trip.

Trip Checklist

✔ Tickets
There was a small change in our plans. Since we booked the tickets a little later than expected, prices and routes had shifted. We will now be flying from Tucson to Cancun and leaving on the 30th.

✔ Rental Car
We booked a rental car for the month. It is a tiny little car, but it will definitely get the job done.

✔ Random Shopping List

We also picked up a few things we wanted for the trip:

• Water shoes. Yes please.

• Waterproof video camera with a cute little mini stand

• Biodegradable sunscreen

Florida Friends and Family

After our time in Mexico, we will be making a quick stop in Florida.

We arrive in Tampa on November 30th and will be leaving on December 6th. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone while we are there.

Everything is finally starting to come together, and the trip is feeling very real.

Safety First and Additional Travel Plans

I just registered our trip with the U.S. Department of State. Since we will be traveling out of the country, it seemed like a smart idea to let them know where we will be and how long we will be gone. Safety first.

Next Up

We are also adding a small change to our travel plans.

It turns out we will save quite a bit of money by stopping in Florida on the way home instead of trying to make a separate trip later this year. It will be a short visit to say hello to my family and meet a very special new addition. One of my best friends just had a baby, so I am really excited to meet the little one.

After our quick visit, we will fly back to Tucson from Florida.

I feel incredibly lucky that all of these opportunities are coming together. We will be purchasing our flights in the next few days, so stay tuned for the exact travel dates.
