6 reasons i love traveling with whitney - part 6

this blog is a day late because mexico decided it didn't like blogspot. :) anyway...

whitney is home.

i've lived with whitney for the past going on 5 years and home is not home without her. going on trips, etc. with her is easy as anything because i don't have a whole lot to miss when we're together. i'm now home from mexico and it's very very good to be here. rocket and paisley have made up a week's worth of kisses in about 10 minutes and whitney and i are spending some good quality best friend time together!

speaking of home. this has nothing to do with traveling, but it is our little "welcome" snowman who is part of our decorations for christmas...which is what i came home to last night! :)

6 reasons i love traveling with whitney - part 5

we both know when it's time to go home.

whitney and i always have a blast on our little trips. but it seems like we are both always ready to go home when the time comes. maybe that has to do with us being on the same page.

it's my last full day in cancun today and i'm glad the trip is coming to a close. it's been a blast but i really do want to be home to give my best friend a big giant hug. that's another thing about traveling with whit...we're always there for each other. and as much as i'm really really looking forward to relaxing on the beach today, i can't wait to get home and be there for whit.

so i'll be home soon (although i would bet whitney would debate "soon") and hopefully i will bring a little sunshine with me! i do hear it's supposed to be warm...er tomorrow!!!

one exception to this rule may have been our cruise. i'm pretty sure we were ready to stay an extra week if they had let us!

whitney is my other half.

this is probably no surprise to most of you reading this. whitney and i work well together. we're usually always on the same page and, like i said yesterday, we like the same things. whitney and i just work. we can plan together, pack together, wiggle through big crowds to get ahead of everybody together, we can fly together, we can drive together, we can eat together. you name it. we're professional roommates so sharing a hotel room is nothing out of the ordinary. and we know each other well enough to know when it's time to rest, eat or take a break. and we also make great memories together!!

i talked to her last night after i had written the last blog and she found our disney picture, so i'm making it the picture to go with this blog instead. :)

we like the same things.

when whit and i go on vacation, we are almost always on the same page. we like to rush to some thing and when one of us wants to take it easy, the other one usually does too. this makes for a very easy trip because there's usually no discussion about what to do or not do because we both think the same thing (maybe a side effect from being roomies for 4 years). :)

here's an example of a trip we took because it centered around something both of us happen to like...a lot. :)yes. those are the spice girls. yes. we scheduled an entire trip to vegas around this show. yes. it was one of the most amazing shows ever. and no. you may not judge us. :)

something else we both liked (that i'm pretty sure not just anybody would) was going to disney world for spring break my senior year of college and running round to every single character when the park opened to get pictures with them! i'd show you a picture, but if you've been reading this little series, you know that whitney took the picture and i have no clue where it is. :)

whitney takes pictures.

for some reason, i never really think to take pictures. if you've ever seen pictures from any of our trips (the only way you would have seen them is whitney's facebook. i never post them either), you've seen what the room looks like, what our flight looked like, at least one posed picture in every different outfit we wore and definitely several more very random and candid shots..almost ALL taken by whitney! this is great because i love having the pictures to look back on.

one reason i don't take pictures is because i have a big ole' camera that i sometimes hate lugging around. and also, i just don't think like whitney the scrapbooker. :) so my goal on this mexico trip is to take pictures that whitney normally would. so plan on seeing my room, my view, the cool little slippers they gave us, random candid shots, etc. that reminds me i need to charge my camera batteries. whitney also got me a flipcam for my birthday so i'm trying to remember to use that one too!

well, i'm writing this around midnight and i woke up at 5 something and i have to wake up early early. so i'll leave you with one of my favorite pictures whitney took on one of our vacations in vegas!

6 reasons i love traveling with whitney - part 1

so i'm sitting in the airport at the moment waiting on my flight to cancun for a work retreat. i know...it's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it. this trip is much to the dismay of my dear best friend because i'm leaving her behind in the stupid icy cold cold weather.

so. in an effort to let her know that i do, indeed, love her even though i'm "abandoning her," i decided to countdown all the ways i like traveling with her while i'm gone! so here's number 1...

she's organized.

seriously, whenever we go on vacation, she has a list of what to pack at least 3 days in ahead. i tend to skip the list and go for off-the-cuff packing at the last minute :) whitney also usually has a folder full of all the necessary paperwork like flight confirmations etc...yeah...i didn't have that this morning either :)

these organizational skills always pay off for me! whatever i end up forgetting (even though i always overpack!) whitney has. even for this trip, i'm carrying her suitcase and backpack. what would i do without her? :) and i never really have to worry about where we're going, what we're doing or how that's going to happen...whitney's already got it all planned out. everytime. usually the only reason i end up on vacation anyway is because whitney plans it!

i was going to post a picture, but my wireless internet buddy (justin) closed his computer. off to cancun!
