It's Official - I have to go to Hawaii

I have to go to Hawaii and I don't want to go. Yes, you read that correctly.

I HAVE to go to Hawaii and I DON'T want to go.

I know, sounds pretty crazy, huh? Well, at least everyone who hears about this tells me that I am crazy....whatEVER!

Here's the story:
CJ won T-Mobile's PEAK award. What is PEAK and why is this a significant achievement?
PEAK Achievement is the ultimate of all T-Mobile awards. Sometime early next
spring (I think) a small fraction of employees will be invited to join
the Sr. Leadership team for the annual PEAK Achievers Meeting held in
the first market T-Mobile launched over ten years ago, Hawaii!
I believe this year about 250 employees attended the award ceremony in March.

I am so so happy for him and couldn't be more proud BUT...I don't want to
go. I don't want to fly, I don't want to leave my kids for (almost) an
entire week.

You can read the rest of my whining if you want on my blog here: Trip to Hawaii

If you're looking for sympathy around THIS bunch of traveling nuts, you came to the wrong place!

Get some pills, buy some booze, fall asleep before take off and wake up as they "lei" ya!

CJ turned down the trip. He still gets recognition and he will get $1,000 in place of the trip.

I summed up all the reasons why here: http://www.theindependentmom.com/2009/08/no-hawaii-trip.html

Now, MAYBE we'll go to stay at the Disney resort one year. In fact, I know I need to get over the whole flying issue because when we go to Disney in October 2010 we'll have to fly. AAAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhhh eek
