Wedding in California

Last week husband's long-time friend called to invite us to attend his daughter's wedding in Santa Ana, California on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2009.

It's been six plus years since we left California and have not been back to visit his friends. So husband and I are looking forward to seeing his friends after so long. We are planning to drive to California on Friday morning and it'll take about 22 hours to get there. we'll probably stay one night in Arizona on the way.

Since he can only take three days leave due to his busy work schedule, we hope to get back home by Tuesday night, Allah SWT willing.

Apart from attending the wedding, I'm also planning to meet up with a teacher who moved to Irvine, California in November 2008. I called her last week to tell her about our pending visit and we are both looking forward to seeing each other.

Few days ago I found some useful information on how to travel cheaply across USA http://www.stretcher.com/menu/topic-r.htm#vacations. Allah SWT willing we hope to spend within our budget on this trip.

Today I've been busy cleaning and getting ready for the trip. I'll need to remind husband that we'll need to stop every 3 hours to let daughter stretch her legs and vent off some of her never-ending energy. Going on a road trip with a two-year-old toddler is going to be interesting....
