Leaving on a Jet Plane

We booked our flights to Palm Springs!  I won't lie, I was fairly certain hubby was going to call off our trip but I was wrong and as of Sunday I will be in vacay and enjoying heat and sun!  
Hubby's business kicks back into full-time gear on Monday, March 3rd and he wasn't sure he wanted to leave town the week before.  He is a worrier and constantly thinking about work and this is our last opportunity to go away for a week until next November.  Our summer trips are generally long weekends so I was really looking forward to having this time together.   Hubby is also a planner and I have happily obliged his need for a plan: I will either be laying by the pool, wandering the aisles of Target, partaking in happy hours and eating whatever I want whenever I want.  Oh and we will be throwing in a visit to the Living Desert at some point.  My plan for this vacay is to RELAX. 
I am still in a bit of shock that in 5 more sleeps I will be in paradise:

   Not the actual view but pretty damn close to the one from the patio

View from my floatie in the pool... Heaven...

Not that I want anything to take away from my vacay buzz, but does anyone have any must sees we should check out?  For some reason (that I LOVE) I only ever seem to lounge by or in the pool with cocktails, do the odd bit of shopping and then go back to the pool for more cocktails... But back to real life... tomorrow is the last day of my training seminar and it ends with an exam so wish me luck.  Seriously, please wish me luck, this shit is intense, detailed and veeeery boring!

Five Chicks Walk Into a Spa...

The weekend I have been waiting for is finally here - right after work four other beauties and I are hitting the road for a nearby resort town to eat delicious food, drink chilled wine and get our pamper on!  All I have to do is get through the rest of the work day and then I'm off :)

So I'm linking up with Darci at the good life and friends for 5 on Friday, girls weekend style.

1. Dinner Out: we're going Italian and apparently the angel hair pasta is to die for - I will be going light on the pasta and heavy on the wine... unless it's really good, then I'm all in.  Who am I kidding, I'm obviously going all in.



2. Gone Girl: I can say I read it but I can't really say I like it. Looking forward to our discussion and hearing everyone's thoughts.

 

3. Spa: the joy of extended benefits and the second reason for the trip... Show me a registered massage therapist and I'll show you a very happy Sarah!  



4. Shopping in the Village: a late lunch post-spa, cocktails and wandering through all the stores.  



5. Friends: Feeling so lucky to have met and become friends with these amazing women.
