    i'll be dry leading up to the trip .. though thats mainly because i have a couple of races before the trip. I just did my 8km race today (legs are suuuper sore) and I have a 10km race the day before i fly out!

    I very much plan on making up for this dry spell at the resort ... afterwards i have to train up for a half-marathon in June !

    Following our first visit back in January, I decided I needed a break, and had a dry February, not touching a drop of alcohol the entire month. I don't drink regularly (i.e. every day) but do like to drink on the weekends. Giving this up just cleared my head and I felt much better for it. I would certainly consider doing this for the month before going on our next trip, simply to get myself into great form before hitting it hard and partying for 2 weeks straight again!

    That is awesome. I thank him for his service and to you for your support and dedication as a military spouse! Neither is an easy task. :usa1:

    I'm in the same situation as your husband, unfortunantly I will be going straight from here to Cancun with zero days to prepare. I made the mistake last deployment and went to Oktoberfest, let's just say the first night could have easily turned into a "Hostel" movie sequence....do not remember a thing. Will not make same mistake twice.

    I have taken the opposite approach.....I consider the month before the trip as "spring training".....I am working hard getting ready for the "season" to start:ernaehrung015:

    Yeah thats a no for us, that just sounds like cruel and unusual punishment.. Couldn't imagine not having a glass or two of wine after a hard days work.. I think we would be total basket cases by the time we got to Temptations.
