We leave in just a few hours for 2 weeks in alaska. Wheeeeee! This trip has been in the works for over a year now … my parents, brother/sister-in-law/niece are all going too … the first trip we’ve really all taken together. We’re all super excited … and are looking forward to seeing the beauty of alaska!

Let the countdown commence.
Only Five Days ’til Two Weeks in Hawaii.
We haven’t been on a real vacation in two years (a real vacation for us is going somewhere we’ve never been … and for more than a week!). Steve has been traveling A LOT with work … and we were moving, building a house … vacation just wasn’t going to happen until this year. So – we have been planning this trip for about 9 months now. It is technically our five-year anniversary trip … even though we just celebrated six years in December!
We are FINALLY seeing some benefit from Steve’s traveling all over the U.S. for HCA. We’re using frequent flier miles for our flights, hotel points for our hotels, and car points for our rental cars. We are staying at some AMAZING resorts … I can’t wait. The thread count alone is going to make me sigh with vacationary delight. Bring on the relaxation.
We’ll be spending time in Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island (Hawaii). Neither of us have ever been to Hawaii before (one of our real vacation stipulations, remember?) – so we’re really excited. My parents and brother/sister-in-law have been there before and have been a great source of information for things to definitely do and see on each of the islands. Neither of us are really “lay on the beach for hours and do nothing” type of people … so we have each day planned out with what we will be doing.
Sooo … five days and counting. Yesssss!!

Another item I’m finally getting around to uploading – TWO YEARS after the fact. Sheesh. This is a short video I shot with my canon elph camera … if you haven’t ever been to Vegas and seen the Bellagio water shows … they are so beautiful!

A few months back Steve found out that the England football (soccer) team would be coming to Chicago to play the US team. Almost before he finished reading the announcement he was looking online for where and when he could buy tickets. The game was this past weekend — and we had a blast. 
Steve lived in Chicago (downtown on East Ohio Street!) for almost two years when he first moved here from England — so we visited a lot of our old haunts and enjoyed seeing the city again. Navy Pier, Michigan Avenue, Water Tower Place … the shopping! Oh my, the shopping!
The game had great atmosphere — with more than half of the 50,000 crowd being England fans. English flags were everywhere in the stadium — if you were to just look at the stadium you would think there were ONLY England fans there — there were that many flags. England won 2-1 in a great match. I love soccer (football) because it’s 90 minutes of playing time – not long and drawn out with time-outs and yadda yadda yadda. 45 minutes. 15 minute half time. 45 minutes. The game is finished. American Football could learn a few things from that!
We got a bit of shopping in, visited the Chicago Mac Store, Navy Pier; bought two pairs of the wonderful Clarks shoes (yes!); and on Saturday night we went to see Star Wars. Ah the tragic inevitability.
Sunday we stopped in at Frys (the only one in Illinois – how lucky it’s close to Chicago!) and enjoyed checking out one of the geekiest stores in the planet. I wish we had one of those in Nashville – it would be so handy!

Lake Tahoe is peaceful beauty. San Diego is wild, but 2 days was enough. San Francisco is a mecca of fun and trolley-hanging-off-excitement. Las Vegas is spectacular and alice and sad all at the same time. Reno is Harley filled and stark landscapes. The Grand Canyon is majestically breathtaking.
We fly home tomorrow night. It’s been a great two weeks. Simply great. Photos and more to come …

Steve and I will be leaving for a two-week tour of California next week. We leave on September 21 – a day which also happens to be my 27th birthday! We’ll be going to San Deigo, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, Phoenix, the Grand Canyon, Oakland … we’re taking advantage of the super cheap flights that Southwest Airlines provides. Our flight to San Diego is only $99 … and then we’re doing short $20-$30 flights between all the cities over there. It’s quicker than driving … and cheaper considering gas and rental car prices!
The floor (aka Comments) is open for Sight-Seeing suggestions … are there places in the cities we’re visiting that we shouldn’t miss? Good restaurants? Cool shows? Beautiful scenery? We don’t want to miss anything!!!
