STRESSED!!!!

I wish I could even tell you how unbelievably stressed I have been this week. As you know from my last post we were planning a trip to Gulf Shores to renew our vows in Aug. Well needless to say those plans have had to change. I have been worried about the oil ever since it happened and have checked on the beaches daily. When the oil finally started washing onto the beach I told Brad he was going to have to help me come up with a solution. Me being the OCD planner that I am, Brad just usually lets me do it all, but I told him it was time for input because I was going insane. He made the suggestion that we go to Tybee Island/Savannah since that is somewhere we have both LOVED ever since we went nearly 7 years ago. See why I need him, that never crossed my mind. We went for business the first time, but fell in love with the city of Savannah and all the lighthouses and ocean liners that are at Tybee Island. It all of a sudden seemed so simple! I started looking for condos Sunday and then the stressed kicked into high gear! Our requirements were a pool, oceanfront, and sleeps 10. That was nearly impossible to find. I finally found one and emailed the lady. She said she had just had a cancellation and it was 1st come 1st serve basis. I emailed her back and told her I would take it! She emailed me and told me she had went to town and when she got back she had 6 request for that condo with mine being first. Thank Goodness! Now onto the planning of switching the wedding stuff over from Gulf Shores to Tybee Island, but I am just grateful we found something.

Phew! So glad you got that all straightened out! I don't think Savannah is very far from us, but I have never been there! That is really neat that yall were able to find a plan B and that it all worked out with the condo!

I'm so glad y'all found something! This oil spill has definitely wreaked havoc on people's vacations. We were going to go to Destin in Sept. for our 5th anniversary...now we're thinking Disney if we have the funds.

we just got booked over there this morning. we are excited about it. i didn't realize it would be so hard to find somewhere that was ocean front with a pool. they seem to do a lot of cottage rentals. but i guess i am just so used to everything being so commercial in GS! too bad we will be there a few weeks before yall!

Y'all will love it. It is so much more laid back. It is very small town beach city. They also have a law that you cannot build over 3 stories tall, so you can see ocean from anywhere!
Micah we went to Disney last year and LOVED it! It is definitely not a vacation for relaxation though! I have tons of info if you need to know anything.
