Any time off for the girl has been deemed to parental visits. Hopefully, one day ( before I am too crotchety to enjoy it..LOL ) we will be able to take a real vacation just for ourselves. I am always so grateful for any time we get to just "get away", even if it is only for a night. It helps us re-connect in a world that often robs us of our "quality time".

Our vacation plans are next winter, Hawaii, then Philly in May, and once we have saved more money, Scotland and Ireland. At least thats what we HOPE to do, esp Hawaii!

In August I'm going to Germany for two weeks. I haven't booked my flight yet but uni gave me enough money back to book a cheap flight to Hamburg... so I'm determined. It won't be a long stay and I probably won't be able to make the long trip down to Bavaria where I used to live (would love to be able to make down there for nostalgia's sake but it'd be too expensive without a pass), but at least I'm going!

I'll mostly be spending my time in Schleswig-Holstein camping out at a festival with some friends and then probably doing some traveling around Schleswig-Holstein and Niedersachsen. I don't want to spend too much time in Hamburg because there's not much to do there, but maybe make it up to Lübeck (great city, first time I witnessed broad daylight in the middle of the night lol), over to Hannover and a few other places.

Really excited!

I am really excited for the Reunion of course, but that is a whole other thread!

I am hoping business picks up just a smidge so I can get my ticket booked to Ft Lauderdale for my break in September, right after Labor Day weekend. My sister, my best friend, and I are going to go down for a week and stay in my buddy's condo for free. We will buy food and cook most meals there....and it is only a stone's throw from the beach! When you sit on the balcony, you can see between the buildings across the street and the sand and waves are right THERE! I am stoked to go lay on the beach and do NOTHING....NO studying, NO drama, NO computers, NO work, and I will be there with 2 of my favorite people in the world!!

Once I graduate in March 2012, I plan on heading to Mexico to do nothing on the beach; then it is time to get a real job and start my new exciting life!! All at the ripe young age of 40!!

I brought in NYE in Ft Lauderdale and stayed there a week before traveling through different parts of Fl for 2 more. I LOVED it there. If u haven't been there already u have to check out the Gayborhood! There is some FABULOUS resteraunts down there.

We're saving up for a week away at Disney World next Christmas. It's supposed to be for our honeymoon (getting married in October), but we're also taking my daughters because we think it will be even more fun to share it with them. Between now and then, we'll probably do some weekend getaways to PA to see family, or MA because we love it. I wish we could travel more, but we try to make the most of the weekends when the weather is nice.

Ahhh, yes, the gayborhood! I have been there a couple of times, but it has been years. As odd as it may sound, I will be happy to be as far away from the queer crowd on my vaca! I want peace and quiet, and lots of time to spend with my sister and best friend. More than likely, I will be found either snorkeling, laying under a palm tree, finding seashells, or walking up to the pier. I need to hear the ocean and feel the sand between my toes. I can be around the queers all I want when I get back home...lol I live in the midwest and don't get to the beach very often!

When you make it over, spend more time in Ireland than Scotland as it's people are friendlier, the scenery is much more beautiful and, all-in-all, it's a much better holidaying experience ***
