Yes, it is nearing vacation time. Ah, the joys of vacation. There is the old song "working for the weekends" but really most people are working for vacation. Most of the time our vacations are for obligations like Thanksgiving or Christmas and then sometimes it doesn't really feel like a vacation. A lot of people around work go on many vacations. My cohort goes on a trip once every two months. One coworker is on a cruise to Russia right now for 2 and half weeks. I remember going to Guitar Camp in Austin 4 years ago. It was really fun; 5 straight days of playing guitar. I am always meaning to go to the one in Seattle. A trip to Mardi Gras was good as well. It was definitely an experience. Growing up we had the "van" trips in which we would spend 7 days in the "Van" and travel across country. Spring Break we were always headed west. Summer vacation we always went up to Hillville and hung out. That was fun too. It has been a while since I actually went anywhere just for fun for more than 2 days. I think the last one was two years ago, between jobs, when I went to the mountains of New Mexico.
Click here for a remembrance.

I don't think I will be able to blog this trip though, cause I believe Mexico doesn't have the Internet. I think they just use coconuts.

Thought of the Day

"Having the keys to Jerry's apartment - that kept me in a fantasy world. Every time I went over to his house it was like a vacation: better food, better view, better TV, cleaner, oh, *much* cleaner. That became my reality. I ignored the squalor in my own life because I'm looking at life, you see, through Jerry's eyes. I was living in the twilight, living in the shadows, living in the darkness... like you."
"Me?!"
"Oh, I can barely see you, George."
"Stop it Kramer, you're freakin' me out."
