Are you doing anything different this summer?

[Johnny Rockets]

yup...ended up in vegas...had a great time, I think

I can see how that could happen. I don't want to wind up in a place like Vegas though.....that has financial disaster written all over it for a guy like me.

I would love to just fly to a South America somewhere with a duffle bag, backpack and a few hundred dollars to get by on, then get off the plane and just go.

I know that isn't the smartest of ideas without putting in a bunch of research though. Next thing you know I am a drug mule and I am flying back to the US against my will with 56 bags of heroine and cocaine in my stomach that I was forced to swallow wondering where it all went so wrong. :)

:lol: It would start and end proly like you just described. I will keep a pen and pad handy, write and sell our story to Men's Journal or Outside magazine. Do tv tours, cable junkets and end up singing Take me out to the ballgame at Wrigley.

We bump into Vince Vaughn while there and he said he loved our story and wants to make a movie about it.

hop a plane to Seattle or Portland and hike/bike/drive the pacific coast highway

Will work a ton.

Will spend almost every Sat evening at my beach cottage.

Will be on my boat every afternoon after work.

Will be diving on most every day off during the week.

I am doing something different. 1) I've never, ever taken two weeks in a row, rarely even a full week at one time, but this year I am taking the first two weeks of July off and 2) Spending those two weeks on Islamorada in the Florida Keys at a private beach estate. It's the estate my ex-husband and his wife oversee, and we're staying in their house (for free) while they go on a Mediterranean cruise. We'll be taking care of the dog.

This means I'll be gone from work for three straight weeks, as I have a conference in DC the week before. It's going to be strange, but fun!

Now this is like something I want to do.....I just don't think the cost of getting there will be in my budget this summer. Sounds awesome.
