The first itinerary sounds great to me except for the part of messing up Christmas for my family. They all understand completely and are saying GO, GO, GO; but my sentimentality is taking over!
The second itineray allows me to be home for Christmas, but I will have less time to spend with the children. I'm not so happy about that.
I will let you know what the final travel plans end up being! God is good so I know He'll give me wisdom in choosing. I also know that once I see those precious faces, I am going to melt inside, and none of these details will matter!
Merry Christmas to me!!! What a gift!

I just found your blog. Wanted to say congratz on The Call and safe travels.
What age are your boys? I read you requested one under 3 and one under 18 months.
Congratulations Deana!!
Have a happy holiday meeting your family!
Laura
Have a safe trip!
I just found your blog, too. What an exciting time to start reading! I can't wait to hear about your trip...and your kiddos! Are they both boys or just the younger? How old are they? Are they brothers?
I sure you were the very best Christmas present for each other that any of you have ever received!
