...And I know that I have it easier than some people... Because of my job, it's not so hard for me to trade shifts and get some time off... and if I take 4 days vacation (or trade shifts), I get 12 days off in a row... and I managed to get 20 days off in a row... I can't wait!

I know that I'll be bored quite a bit, but, hey, it's better than being home alone!
It's so great that you get to go with your Hubby on trips! (Amsterdam sounds a bit cooler than St. Louis!) It's nice also that you can take your daughter with you... What a cool experience for her! How old is she?
