i'm heading home for a friend's wedding next month... my college friends are getting together again for this one and i really can't wait to hang out with my girls again for a couple days. we haven't gotten us all together since 2004!

probably going to rent a car and drive up to see a couple friends and family members too, since i'm right there.

since true friendship is such a scarcity where i am, hanging out with my friends back home is a wonderful and exciting vacation.

the only downside is that DH isn't coming.

Hiking in British Columbia.

Swimming with free, wild dolphins off Bimini Island.

Scuba diving on Long Caye wall, Glover's Reef, Belize.

Safari in Kenya.

I went to Disney, Florida a few weeks ago and none of my pics look like these. It had been 30 years since I had been and wow it was bitter/sweet.

Just a few pics from beautiful Corsica:

Good Lord! Those are gorgeous photo's! Well done.

The wife and I will be leaving town in ten days for a one week roadtrip starting with Las Vegas (overnight), Canyonlands in southern Utah, Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. A short stay in the Ol' home town of Bozeman, MT and then back to Reno for Hot August Nights. Planned this just the other day have no reservations, no route picked out yet just a general idea of what we want to do, a true roadtrip! Hope I can get those Volvo seats installed in time.

p.s. wish I could take pics like vtie or efusco!

We take our vacation usually in the winter in our favorite tropical location, that would be the Philippines. Great place to visit, great beaches, beer P18 (about $0.40) a bottle, what more could you ask for.

Well, sometime next week I'm taking 3 weeks off. Here is my ideal vacation:

1. At the hobby farm, with the gate at the driveway closed and padlocked

2. Nice weather, not too bloody hot or freezing cold

3. Immediate family and the two cats with me

4. BlackBerry turned off and stuffed into the sock drawer for the duration

5. Phone ringer turned off

6. Cell phone turned off and stuffed into sock drawer to keep CrackBerry company

7. Internet satellite terminal turned off

8. No boob tube either

Enough time and money and energy to get all of my projects done at home.

Probably won't happen until I retire. (Goal was to finish BEFORE I retire.)

I'd love to see Japan, Egypt, Australia, Canada, England, Greece, you get the picture. I doubt I will. So I'll have to be content with making my home my vacation.

A vacation is not working, not worrying about work and doing whatever you want to. A hammock under a big shade tree is a pretty good start.

Godiva · 07-24-2008, 11:20 PM

In order for me not to worry, home projects must be done. It's no use going on a vacation when all I think about is...I could be home doing.......
