Aaah...the wonderful world of travelling. It sounds so glamorous, so easy....so I thought! Steve and I are planning a vacation to Varadero, Cuba in April. Of course, we have to acquire passports and all of that good stuff, which is easy for Steve but not so much for me. You see, I was legally adopted by a step-parent oh, let's say 12 years ago, maybe even longer than that. All documents that have my birth name are no longer valid (ie. birth certificate). I now have to complete a legal name change, receive a new birth certificate, and then proceed with the passport application. Fingers crossed that this all goes smoothly! I keep having nightmares that we're at the airport and I don't have a passport!

Also, I've noticed that a lot of our friends and family have decided to go on vacation as well...what can I say...we're trendsetters! I can see myself on the beach, with an ice cold umbrella drink :) Stay tuned...

Just think of the beach and the ambiance when you are going through the hassle. Then when you are on the beach basking in the warm sunshine, think about the hassle, and gee it was all sooo worth it!
