I haven't had a proper two-week vacation since 2000.

I need a break... :hangover:

1. How wonderful! So let's talk about it. Where are you going? What are you doing?
I hadn't had one in a long time either and took a whopper this summer, and it was just fantastic. Here's hoping yours is the same.

3. 17-day cruise to Hawaii & back.
Sails out of Vancouver, B.C. and returns to San Diego. Stops at every major island, with a 2-day port-call in Honolulu. This will be more than twice as long as any other cruise my wife and I have taken. Looking forward to it...

Where did you take your vacation, nolabear?

9. The sooner you start your vacation, the longer it will last.
Start your vacation today and you'll never have to go back.

10. I hope you have a great time - it sounds wonderful (Hawaii!!!!!)
It's probably been over fifteen years since my last (one week) vacation to Hatteras.

Being poor sucks.

:hi:
