Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale....

a tale of a fateful trip.... hee hee

Ok, so I can't help it the Gilligan's Island theme song keeps running through my head every time I think about the trip Colt and I are going on soon. Did you see the spiffy Banner up there counting down the days. Well I'm excited. I'm not so excited about a few of the people who are also going and I still wish I'd have gotten it so Colt and I were staying in the same room but I didn't know it was possible until now when its too late. Sad. I wonder if my room mate will notice if I smuggle him in :-0 I think she might. Oh well, It will be great fun the rest of the time I'm sure. Anyhow, we are going on a whirlwind tour of the East Coast Historical spots. I'm soooooo excited. I used to love History beyond all the other subjects in school. here is our current Itinerary... subject to change at a moments notice apparently! But I'm going to put it as it is on our paper...
