We will be leaving on Monday on our 12 day vacation to Puerto Rico. I've been planning this vacation for quite sometime and I'm happy to say that all of our expenses are accounted for and nothing will be charged to our credit cards.

I'll miss you all, talk to you when I get back.

Have a great time! I lived in P.R for 3 years within walking distance of the beach. Loved the weather and the pina coladas!
