So, I think tomorrow will be the big day that I tell the hubby that I am taking him away next week. Everything is in order with the reservations after a lenghty phone call from USAirways who decided to change all my flights. I can see changing the times or the gates, but no. I get a phone call saying that they moved my husbands flight down ahead two days and all of our return flights were changed from a Wednesday to a Monday. This is the second time they called me and said that there was a major change. Anyway, got it straightened up and now the big issue is a hurricane. No, not a hurrican in the Caribbean where you normaly would think of hurricanes, but one that is supposed to come up the Chesapeake Bay.

I have kept this secret for so long and looked forward to planting my butt in the sand for a nice relaxing 10 days and wouldn't it figure that there will be a storm around Pennsylvania that day. Keeping my fingers crossed. I would much rather be delayed coming home!

I'm with you re: Hurricane Irene. Hoping it veers AWAY from SC! And I'm "recovering" from the shaking that just occurred. We felt the VA earthquake (occurred a little before 2pm) here in SC!!! Wow. Crazy times in the world of nature!

Yup, we shook here in Eastern PA pretty good. We have felt alot being down in STJ and they are very mild tremors. This is the first one I remember up here in quite a long time.
