So, after time paying off some debt, and finally being in a positive financial position again, J and I have booked an all inclusive trip to Cuba! We will be going in February, to get away from the cold, and to celebrate our 6 month anniversary. The trip will also act as a sort of honeymoon for us since we never got a "real" honeymoon.
Why Cuba? Well, the thought of going to an all-inclusive beach side resort has its obvious appeal. However, both J and I like culture and new experiences, and places with some sort of history. So, Cuba seemed an obvious choice for us.
Our resort is outside of Veradero. We have considered taking a day trip to Havana while we are there.
I can't wait!!!
J and I have never taken a major trip together, which is a sort of funny thing because we both love traveling. It will most certainly be an experience navigating through airports and being seated together on a small plane for 5 hours together. I guess this will be a good "test" for how we will be if we end up going to England on a working-holiday next year (2010).
Christmas must come soon! Once Christmas is over I will begin my countdown for our trip!
Side note:
*tear*
I wish I was going to see Lady GaGa tonight...oh well, at least I am grooving to her music in the comfort of my own home. Nothing wrong with that! hehe

I have a neighbor who I swear must hate everyone.
Since we live in an apartment style condo you often can hear when people come home, or leave. However, this girl is so loud every time she comes and goes that, I swear, the whole building knows specifically when she is home or not, no matter what time of day or night it may be.
Now, it's not just her stomping up and down the stairs that informs me when she is here, or the way she always slams every single door. Yes, both these things lead me to believe that she must have anger issues, however it is what I can hear her talking about, no, make that yelling about! And believe me, I am not trying to eavesdrop here, really it is just impossible NOT to hear her.
She came home just a few moments ago. I could hear her loud voice, talking extremely fast before she even got in the building. She was talking to someone (who I am assuming was her roommate) about someone, and how "...she was like telling me all about her family and like, I don't care. Like I care about her family...". Her poor roommate was trying to comment and give some input (at a reasonable volume) but could barely get in anything more then a "ya" or "oh, I know". After the voices and stomping seemed to have reached the top of the stairs, there was the standard slam of the door, and then silence.
I don't understand that one apartment...this is not the first "bad" neighbor that has lived there. However, I think it has something to do with the fact that that apartment is rented out, while the others are owned by the people residing in them. Either way, J and I will endure living here for a few more years, then hopefully will be off to England for a year or two, and then we will return to Canada and buy a home. A real home, with our own front door, back door, and a yard where we can have a little garden and have a dog!
...at least that is the dream/plan for now!
