Good-bye Maine, Welcome Coco Cay!

I am SOOOOO excited about my upcoming trip!!!! A few weeks ago, my sister-in-law called me up to tell me how she helped her boss by picking up some of his friends from the airport and taking them to the Superbowl. Well, anyone that watched it, saw the rain. So, Geniza bought them ponchos and snacks (which is not a suprise to me---she's very generous like that). Paul went to give her a BIG tip and she declined saying that she was doing it for Phil (her boss). Well, it came back to bite her in the ass! Let me just first say, that Geniza is like a good luck charm. I played in a Casino in Puerto Rico a few years back with her. I lost my $20.00 AND I DON'T like gambling. So, I'm mad that $20.00 just went into a future winner's hands. She's standing beside me and WINS! "BAG"! :-)

So, Paul's secretary calls her that following week and says, "Paul only wants a 'thank you'. When you and a friend want, he is going to send you on a Cruise to the Bahamas". So, she calls me up to tell me ALL about this and stated she was going to call him back and tell him that it is not necessary. I said, "ARE YOU CRAZY??? You're going to follow Sandy's orders, call him up, thank him and then when are you and I going"! Ha, ha, ha! I got my tickets online and have had stuff laid out and ready to pack for a week! She just sent me an email and told me that they upgraded our room to a "Superior Oceanview"!!!! Can you all say, "WHA-WHOOOOO"!

Now, I'm telling all of you, this would only ever happen to Geniza! For all of you who don't know her, she is an AMAZING person! She has worked with Habitat for Humanity, she has raised money for the Arthritis Foundation. I know if I'm looking to raise money for someone, I'm a phone call or an email from receiving her donation. She loves children as much as I do (although Theme Parks and long lines--she's got me beat).

So, even though she GIVES all the time, she has a difficult time RECIEVING! That's true for most of us in this world.

Nize, I'm soooooooooooo excited about going and having fun with you. I also can't wait to meet Nancy! I'm also thinking that I will make change and have you grab my $20.00 and then play it when we're at Atlantis! That way, there will be no chance of me handling the cash and you winning for me!!!!!!!!! WHA-WHOOOOO!!!
