#vacation
This past Thursday I started a week-and-a-half of #vacation . Or technically, "stay-cation", because I have stuff to do at home AND because I'm saving monees for a Real Vacation later this year.
Temperatures this week are topping out at 65 degrees Farenheit. Every day, all week. Literally, the perfect late-spring weather. #DontEvenNeedALightJacket
I just realized that adding up my road trips to California, Cascadia, and New England, I'll be doing a combined 30 days or so of travel this year. That's luxury living by American standards, which is kinda horrifying to contemplate.

When #police do #recruitment drives do they promote the fact that if charged with a #crime you get a paid #vacation and get to keep your #job after #conviction. Seems like a pretty good #employment #perk.
Hannah saved money on travel by taking a bus instead of flying from Vietnam to Laos—what followed was 24 hours of stress, hunger, laughs, and frustration!

Tropicana Disco Bar

The Tropicana Disco Bar, where the drinks aren't free. Which is just as well if you think about it, a recipe for financial ruin. I don't think that George Michael fella really thought his club through. Still, fair play to him, the royalties for that one Christmas record where he wore a big dress on stage should give him a nice pension.
Anyway, just a light Dreamscaping on this image.

It's Friday, and I will be off from work all next week...hopefully in Venice, although anything is a possibility at this point. So as a tribute, here's a list of stuff I've been paid to do over the years (either directly or indirectly).
I could probably come up with another 20 weird things I've done in the name of my employers because working nonprofit is often a bizarre experience.

And we're here! I've wanted to visit the Outer Banks for many, many years and I'm finally here! Super windy, but warm so we headed out onto the beach! Little Ellie was miserable and hunkered down inside my jacket, but Jamie absolutely loved it! We've got two and a half days here so looking forward to seeing more of the area.

Mom's been packing stuff, so we have to stay close to make sure she doesn't forget us! Sometimes she goes to cool places and leaves us home with other people! But I heard her say something about "bringing the dogs" this time!
Dammit. This sounds so fun! I wish they'd let me go. 😥

To put my money (and time and effort) where my mouth is, I have now booked our family summer vacation 🏝️ without car or air travel. We're going from Vienna 🇦🇹 to Greece 🇬🇷 by train and ferry, with transfers on public transit busses! It's 1.5 days one way instead of a few hours by air.
Last year we went to Italy, which is much closer. Greece is the next level challenge from here.
What I noticed so far:
There are way too few connections. I should really have booked earlier, but overall there just are magnitudes more seats on airplanes to/from Greece than cabins on the ferries and sleeper compartments on trains. Many ferries and trains do not run daily even in the top summer season.
There are very few travel agencies for this kind of trip. I found none for Austria, and one specialized for Switzerland. When I book everything separately, I carry the full risk in case of a missed connection.
Many ferries are car/camper ferries. There is an impressive multitude of services and a whole culture around travelling with your own (rented) vehicle that has grown and matured over decades. I wonder how that will change?
BTW, I really loved air travel. But I understand we have to do everything we can.

A third puzzle happened, and from start to finish was only about two hours. It was a very rainy afternoon with a spate of hail, and we were on task.

One way of leaving Punta Cana is to eat a hearty meal of Taco Bell and then smoke a huge cigar on the outdoor patio in the departure lounge.
But it wasn't my way.
This time.
Day into my vacation, it's nice. More days off, more often, I say. Wife and I don't do much of anything other than watch TV, play video games, mess with the cats, I play guitar and screw around on the computer (and of course a little cleaning). But that's the point. Regular days, you might be doing MOSTLY things you don't wanna do. Vacations are good for focusing on doing the least you DON'T wanna do as possible-- at least for us. 😀
I don't even keep a to-do list much anymore. I used to. I used to live and die by my to-do list. My email is a mini to-do list, I suppose. I try to get things done fast, right away if possible- I do still make mini reminders to myself.
The stuff you don't wanna do is ALWAYS gonna be there. I saw an article the other day-- so many people don't use their vacation time! Use that time! It's important for your mental health.

Does this exist, and if so, where? Looking for some sort of family forest camping, crossed with kids summer activity program (e.g. hiking, archery...)
Not just "drop the kid off at summer camp" but elements of that, with a lodge where parents can sit and read a book, or go hiking.
Then everyone can camp in furnished tents or similar.
I guess I want camping + summer camp + amenities. USA and California preferred.
Ideas?
We fly out early tomorrow morning to head back home so vacation is pretty much over with at this point as we have to be up super early tomorrow.
It's been a ton of fun and I've seen so many things that I never thought I'd get to see.
It was a first experience for Bianca and I both, but my focus ended up being on her to help her take her mind off of things that just recently happened and I believe it worked. She had an amazing time, just as I did.
🍺Here's one for all you Texans!🍺
This part of San Antonio is home to the historic Pearl Brewing company and while the brewery is no longer there they have developed this area into a vibrant area of shops and restaurants. We plan on going back to stay at Hotel Emma at Pearl, it looks amazing!

#TheWhiteLotusHBO is so #fucked up, i think I'm going to need a #vacation far away from the #beach—like the #mountains—to #recover from #season one.
In one week from tomorrow the wife and I will be heading to New York City for our first time ever. We'll be celebrating our 10th anniversary and I'm super excited.
We have tickets to go see the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island, and of course to the 911 Memorial.
We'll likely visit the Empire State Building and we'll be staying right around Times Square in a nice hotel.
February 27th simply can't come soon enough!
