First trip of the year!

The first trip of the season here in Croatia was designed by moi (with a ton of help from Lynny of course!) This is exciting because it is part of that "promotion" I accepted back in April. I am part of the decision making process now, which is great because I have a hard time keeping my big mouth shut about my opinions of the trips I run anyway. It might as well count for something.

Overall it was a smooth run! We had a VERY rainy first day and third day, but it let up just in time for all the crucial boat crossings and all the guests were great sports about it. I took a few pictures along the way for a slideshow presentation at the end. This is a little of what the guests see.

The best part of the week was my coleader: The Magic Lynny Bean. We have quite literally spent every waking hour together for the last month and I never once wished it any other way. I am so impressed that she can wake up without the snooze button and a smile on her face every day. We shared so many laughs that my face still hurts and she sincerely made every day better for me. She reminds me to loosen up and have a good time. It doesn't have to be perfect. Sure it's our job, but it's also FUN. How lucky are we that we can have fun when we go to work?

She's game for anything (ie last minute ferries to Bari for birthday parties) but she is also organized and efficient and gets things done. I am not really sure I could have done it without her. Actually, I know for a fact I could not have done it without her.

Let the separation anxiety begin...
