Cali or Bust

I'm gearing up for a trip back to the states. I'll be flying Space available with two young kids, but I'm hoping that the timing of my travel will work out to my advantage. This week is Spring Break for all the kids, but I can't put in for travel until after my hubby gets home so it'll be in the middle of the break that we'll be trying to fly out and I'm hoping that most people will have already gone where they are going or that no one will be going anywhere at all. On our way back no one should be traveling for vacation so we should get a flight quickly. Especially if it's a straight shot to Guam. Either way I expect to get stuck in Hawaii for a few days there and a few days back. I know. Stuck in Hawaii. How horrible! I'm hoping to have some nice pics by the time I get back. The final destination is California to visit family and I'm really excited about it. My dad and sisters really haven't gotten to meet and spend much time with my kids. We're also planning plenty of trips to zoos and Disney and I'm hoping to do some sailing and camping while there. On my list is also a trip to Olive Garden one night for dinner. We don't have an Olive Garden here and I miss the soup, salad and breadsticks. It's torture when you can't get something that was normally available to you. Especially when they run the torture commercials! They know we don't have one here, why can't they put a local commercial over the Olive Garden one? Anyways, I can't wait to spend a few weeks with my dad and show my kids California. I'm also looking forward to the travel because it'll be a break from the everyday grind. I'll be sure to get a travel neck pillow this time so that I can nap on the plane.
