Back from vacation, hello real life!

August 29th, 2015 at 10:06 am

The surprise vacation for our 2 year anniversary turned out to be to Puerto Rico, woohoo! We were informed about a hurricane when we arrived at the hotel, and then our return flight was uncertain because of the tropical storm, but actually the weather was great for the majority of our trip. There was one day where it was kind of overcast and scattered storms, but we still managed to swim that day.

Now that I am back I have to catch up on my budget and then prep to return to school next week. Back to packing my lunch and following a schedule! I have already cut up veggies for salads for the week. I picked up some deli turkey and I will boil eggs this weekend as well.


The girls are all set for school, they've been picking up clothes here and there throughout the summer. I'm all set for school. Tuition is paid for fall semester. I'm also ready to get back into my classroom. I'm well rested from the summer and energized to start up again. I'm going to need that strength for this semester!

I went ahead and scheduled hair cuts for the girls and me at the local school, we go this afternoon. My regular stylist charges $40, while the school charges only $12! Even the budget hair places around here start at $23, and that is not including wash and blow dry, so I was shocked to hear that our haircuts will only be $12 each! I'm very excited about trying them out. I'm sure it will be fine, our hair styles are pretty simple. I have faith in the young talent out there! Smile Besides, it's just hair, it will grow back!

    Sounds like a wonderful vacation. Were you at a resort? Do you speak Spanish? Can you manage with just English with in Puerto Rico? I seem to be over influenced by West Side Story.

    I hope you're all happy with school haircuts, let us know what you think given the price differential. Would you do it again in the future?

    Snafu,
    We stayed at an all suite resort, with free breakfast and free happy hour. You can manage with just English, some of the people I encountered had at least minimal English speaking skills, but most spoke very good English . Combined with my minimal Spanish skills, we communicated!
