I saw this post and thought; thank god it's not just me. Each year we book our flights in April so the dates are set and I'm on the vacation calendar at work. Then around July I begin researching what’s available and where we want to stay during our time there. By August our accommodations are prepaid. Now I begin to look over my packing list from previous trips and begin revisions. In a week or two I'll begin to stock pile in the corner of our bedroom.
So I guess for me I spread the excitement over the entire year. It is what gets me through the daily grind of life knowing that in just a few weeks it will just be me and my husband. No kids or jobs. Just the time we need to reconnect and refind each other to get us through the next year until we can return again. Co-workers and friends ask why we don't go somewhere else, my response is that I could spend the rest of my life traveling to different parts of the island and still not see everything Jamaica has to offer.
