Vacation nearly beckoning

I almost forgot to mention: a month from today we leave for Jamaica. Ohh ohhh yeah. We're going to some disgusting all-inclusive resort, but we don't care, we want to be spoiled. We decided to go to Jamaica after some roundabout searching for our next vacation destination. We first decided we wanted to go somewhere that was neither the US nor Europe, since we've done those enough and need to branch out more. Then, since it would be a fall holiday, we wanted somewhere warm, so we looked around for interesting tropical islands to go to. I was initally interested in Jamaica, but O had his doubts, though I dunno why. We eventually settled on Mauritius, and I researched it to death and had all sorts of plans, but then we went into the travel agent to get an estimate of the price and it was too expensive. So we started looking again and I convinced O that Jamaica would be great and it fit our budget, and now we are totally looking forward to it. It still feels distant though since we've had so many other things to worry about lately, but now it's only a month away. Bring it on.
