11 Thoughts You Have While Preparing For a Summer Trip
Florida Travel and Tourism

Summer vacation...oh the places you'll go! The anticipation that builds up in the days leading to a fun summer trip can be agony, but the trip of lifetime is well worth the wait! Here are some thoughts that we all have when prepping for summer vacation:

1. You totally Internet Stalk

You shamelessly stalk the Internet for everything to do with your trip. Your hotel, your cruise ship, your airline, you name it!

2. You Plan Everything

You plan every little detail of your trip in advance. By the time you land at your destination, you know the best places to eat, where the hottest beaches are, and have all the info on the coolest excursions. You got this.

3. You Keep a Countdown

You set a calendar and religiously mark off each day as it slowly drags by...

4. You Pick Out Each Outfit Days in Advance


You have a crazy fashion for your cat in an effort to get totally packed before the last minute...you'll still pack at the last minute.

5. You workout/diet/tan Like Crazy Before Your Trip

You just have to get the best beach body right?! It's ok, you'll get to pig out once your'e on your vacation!

6. You Daydream Constantly

You every waking thought is consumed with daydreams about laying on the beach with a drink in hand!

7. You Have to Remind Everyone About Your Trip

At every chance you get, you have to tell everyone around you about your vacation. Be careful not to make your friends too jealous!!

8. You Get Overwhelmed with Packing

Clothes are everywhere. You forgot to buy travel size toothpaste. And you can't seem to find your passport. Nothing like a major dose of stress to start off a trip right?

9. You Can't Fit Everything Into Your Suitcase

You try everything. Sitting on your suitcase. Jumping on it. Repacking everything at a different angle. And still the damn thing won't close!

10. You Can't Sleep the Night Before

You're so excited that sleep is the very last thing on your mind! Too bad that makes you suer tired for your long travel day the following morning.

11. You Run Around Like Crazy the Morning You Leave Thinking You Forgot Something

Who knew there would be so much to do the morning of?! Throw anything your forgot into your bag, print out your boarding pass, water plants, feed pets, set the alarm etc. Try not to forget anything...you'll still probably forget something.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
