Skippy Says: A Brief Goodbye (Skippy Vacations)

Hey friends- you'll never guess where I am. I'm on a jetplane! Headed to Israel! With birthright! And my BFF/soulmate is on the trip with me! Life cannot get any better! Yowza, that's a lot of exclamation points in a row! I just can't seem to stop myself!

I wrote a post about going earlier, but then I never published it because that same day, I got a call to tell me they would no longer let me go on the trip because I'm pregnant even though my doctor said it's perfectly safe. Remember when I said I got some disappointing news? And then I ate my weight in cherries and Russian pickled tomatoes? That was the cause. Lucky for me, the way birthright works is by contracting trips out to independent trip providers, so even though my trip provider was no longer willing to take me, I found out a few days later that another one was. But I didn't want to post about it until I was positive. And I can't be any more positive than now. When I'm on a jetplane! See, there I go again.

I'll be back February 22nd, and in the meantime I have some absolutely amazing guest posters lined up for you. I chose all different ladies than the ones that guest posted for me the last time I was on vacation so that you could get to know more bloggers I love. They're all absolutely fantastic, and I really hope you enjoy!

p.s.- I will likely have very limited (if any) internet access while I'm in Israel, so I'm sorry that I probably can't respond to comments/emails until I'm back.
