lol! For pretty much the same reason as you.  When you own a business, time off = lost revenue.  And that's in addition to the cost of a vacation.

Plus, I live in a spot where other people come to for their own vacations.

So, I may take off a few days to go to Key West and/or Miami.  Also thinking about a cruise.  At the very least, I'm probably going to put a bimini on the boat and get a lot of fishing/skiing gear that the kids want.

I've stayed at that same hotel....in Seaside, isn't? I have a condo in Pacific Grove, been going there for almost 25 years now. If you like GREAT seafood, try the cioppino at Ablonetti's on the wharf. Or better yet, Phil's in Moss Landing!

That would be a blast Mary!!!

There may be plans to travel the NY Finger Lakes with a friend. But I'm also working on plans to build a new Entertainment System, a Book Shelf, and a small storage cabinet for my bathroom.

And,,, mow my lawn as frequently as I can. The soil in my yard must be in good shape because my grass grows almost too quickly :/

I think there are some awesome sites here in NY. Might not be on the scale of the Grand Canyon, but awesome sites nonetheless. I'd also like to seek out some more State Parks I've never been to. But I've never seen anyplace with countrysides as awesome looking as they are here

Well ... there you go!

If it's NY, maybe we should take Joie up on his annual bash (?)

And you know ... I have been to upper New York many times.  Sooooooo much different than The City.  Really a beautiful, tranquil place!

Yesss, Phil's Fish Market. I always stop by there on my way to Monterey for lunch, and buy the bucket of cioppino to have at the condo!

Not necessarily a vacation but much time and effort is going into my niece's wedding that will take place July 4th weekend in Omaha Nebraska ... she followed the man of her dreams there when he moved for his career.

I've got a week planned in Bozeman, Montana and a week will go with kids to either Marco Island or a cruise.

Me, nothing spectacular until March '12. This summer the girls and I plan to do our usual 3-day surf weekends.

Bur come next year, I'll be in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
