webster defines vacation as respite or intermission. so i guess for vacation i should be working?
i don't know if i have vacation plans. i plan to work on my relationships because i've buried & lost too many people already. so my job is to keep what's left. next week i'm on a maintenance roadtrip with an old highschool friend to visit another hs friend in sarasota. three days in a hotel room with two raging heterosexuals. i don't normally drink but i'm planning to spend the entire time drunk out of my mind. then we'll spend some time in tampa or naples or where my friend wants to visit while he's down here.
my next sort-of-vacation is more a trip to a mall as i've always considered shopping to be a lot of work. the lease is up on the car so i need to actually purchase one. i considered someone elses post (the cycleguy maybe?) who doesn't own a car, bikes around and rents a car on weekends, but that could place me sh*t out of luck if i need to evacuate from a hurricane.
and while i don't care much for the mall i love the idea of being able to shop cross country for a car. i figure i can fly there and turn the ride home into another roadtrip. i might have found a yellow car in washington dc and have a cousin with a townhouse near the capitol so that might be my 2nd 2007 "vacation". still have to workout the itinerary for the roadtrip home.
my 3rd vacation of 2007 was going to be a few months in toronto but only if the house sells first. i won't be comfortable spending that kind of money otherwise. after the inherited house sells, i'm planning to spend summers by renting 1-bdrm or studio apartments in northern climes. i'd like to see toronto, maine, portland/seattle area and vancouver. i figure that will take me at least 3 summers to explore. and paying for apartments by the month instead of hotels by the day ought to make it reasonably affordable.
otherwise, as has been said: i've got no plans and i'm sticking to it.
