Mallorca-Majorca

As I type this, I have 5 loads of laundry going ...with 5 more waiting to be taken down to the laundry room. I am taking a break from packing up my bag, my husband's bag, and backpacks for my children. They will be staying with my friend ,Carrie, while A and I go to Majorca. sans kids
I'm nervous... I've never left the country without my kids... I've never even flown anywhere without them, in their lives. (well, except once I flew to my sister's wedding for 2 days and left the 4 with my dearest, most trusted friend in the world, since I couldn't afford for us all to go. But I still had the baby with me.) I've never left them for 7 whole days. Flying these days is a bit scarey... I feel excited... It's been almost 6 years since I had a vacation alone with my husband. We will be alone to do whatever we want... We don't have to multiply the cost of anything times 7.... We can sit at an intimate table, just for 2 without having anyone make a scene... We can sleep late or get up early, any time we want. The only ones who will have our phone number will be our kids and the people tending them. It's cold an rainy here... so much for summer. We are glad we were able to go to Italy to enjoy the sun, because we wouldn't have seen the sun much if we hadn't. Now we are hoping for the same in Majorca. See you when we get back.....
