A friend of ours recommended a travel agent to us, and I am so grateful to have found her. Gretchen Rubin talks about the importance of anticipation in enjoying a happy event in her book The Happiness Project. A few weeks ago, I purchased The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland (we used the same guide with great success years ago in Disney World), but when I got to the section on hotels I was totally overwhelmed. Finding affordable accommodations for five adults seemed daunting. And frankly, it was keeping me from enjoying any sense of anticipation. Our travel agent found a two-bedroom, two bath suite with kitchenette and a sofa-bed which will allow all of us to be together, but everyone will have their own space for sleeping. The hotel and tickets work as a package, so we have some very nice benefits (including free parking) as well. Last night, I started reading about the park and getting excited about whole trip which will take us to San Francisco, Livermore, Disneyland, and Sacramento. Best of all, the whole family will be together for a week.
We have a fantastic local travel agency, the staff there are so friendly and helpful and will spend as much time as it takes to find exactly the right package for us 🙂 Only yesterday we booked a holiday to Italy! I love the excitement of looking forward to our next holiday… Hope you have a fab time x
It certainly sounds as though it is a trip to anticipate! What a relief the larger details have been taken care of for you.
Your trip sounds wonderful! There’s lots of fun stuff to do in all of those locations. If you get a chance, in Sacramento, the California Museum of Women, History and Art (or something like that) is really interesting – don’t miss the courtyard wall which changes with the light all day long.
Hard to feel too grateful this week, as I’ve been so sick. But I am grateful for colleagues who have stepped up to help and to my DH who stayed home on Friday to help with the kids so I could rest and get better. Hoping that next week I’m going to be grateful to modern medicine and antibiotics!

Your trip sounds fantastic and how wonderful to have all your family together again for a week. Lots to look forward to by the sound of it. Are you going in the summer? Look forward to seeing the photos when you get back.
I completely understand what you mean about how the daunting aspects of planning for travel can take away from some of the anticipation and joy. Cheers to finding a great travel agent to assist! I’m sure it will be a fabulous trip.
