Winging it

As most of my friends and family know, I am a master planner. I plan everything almost to the point that it is a fault of mine and a little but ocd. But I love to plan trips and be prepared. I dont have to have everyting planned, but at least like to know where I will be laying my head down and what the place looks like.

When our anniversary rolled around last week and Steve wanted to wing it I wasnt all that thrilled and I still did some behind the scenes preparing. Not so much planning, but I had an idea of where we were going and what is would cost us. You cant just go into something blind. Especially when you are on a budget and a tight one at that.

So we set out on our drive to the beach. We reach Melbourne and take a right on A1A in hopes of finding a quiet mom and pop hotel. We came to a few places that had no vacancy and decided after the 6th place to turn around and head back towards the north. Thats when we came across the Sea View Motel which had its own private beach and no one on either side of them. This place was perfect, but no rooms available. We will def go back there this summer with the kids. About when I was ready to give up we pulled up to the Windermere Inn By The Sea a bed and breakfast. I just knew we would not be able to afford this place. We went in and they had rooms and were in our budget. The place was so nice and we enjoyed tea time and breakfast there the next morning. It turned out to be a great weekend and we even found a place to come back to to bring the whole family.

Winging it turned out to be great and a nice little adventure. I was proud of myself too for not getting upset when all we were getting was no's.
