"Wherever You Go, Go With All Your Heart"

I recently returned from a week long getaway to Now Jade Riviera Cancun Resort.  It was a wonderfully relaxing trip, taken so that I could share in my friend Denise's wedding day.  The resort, food and company were perfect...and it's the first time I couldn't wait to get home from a trip.  I've travelled alone and away from Cody many times before, but this was the first time away from Arra and I found it very hard.  I was the creepy mom talking to all the kids and watching them play.  I just couldn't take my eyes off of them, they all reminded me of Arra.  I got in some much needed sleep and lazy time on the beach, not to mention the 3 books I read.  Now I'm ready to do it all over again, but this time I'm taking my heart with me!

Tomorrow we leave for 3 weeks of travel and I find myself once again in the midst of Dante's Circle of Hell devoted to packing.  Here's my updated packing list for travelling with a toddler.  It's ever so slightly shorter than my previous list.   This trip will actually be a few mini trips all strung together.  Tomorrow we head to Edmonton for a few days, then off to San Diego for a week with my oldest/best friend Lisa (a fellow travel blogging mommy) and her family, then 2 days in Disneyland (because how can we not?) and finally back to the Mayan Riviera for my brothers wedding.  I'll once again try to update along the way!
