Ahhh, more vacation time

Wow, I have been at my new job for an entire year. This has earned me another week of paid vacation- giving me a total of 3 weeks.....it's much better than 2 weeks, but not nearly as good as the 6 weeks I had at Rush. Now....how & where to spend it?

Upcoming trips

This nurse is getting out of the funk of the on going divorce....

Upcoming trips:
Thanksgiving: NYC, yes I'm going to bite the big apple for the Thanksgiving weekend!
December:
Dec 10 to 13:Going down to Disney for Dreams Unlimited Travel & The Dis Podcast party!!! This means going down to a private after hours party being held at Disney Studios....aka Disney MGM. I also hope to attend some of the other great events being hosted by Dis members. You either have the Disney gene, or you don't....
Dec 24 to 27: St. George, Utah via Las Vegas. Spending some quick, but quality time with my family in Southern Utah. Will give this girl a chance to remember what it is like to be around her entire family, for just long enough to not induce feelings of self harm. Not that my family isn't wonderful, but after living away for so long....I tend to get overwhelmed when all 7 brothers & sisters are in one spot, with all million grandchildren. I'm the only one who has ONE child and no, not all of them are Mormon....

While I would never advocate stealing...

I look at this as just using Bing's kindness for a little longer...

Get me the heck out of this cold weather!!!!!

So, where have I been since Hawaii????
Wow. I couldn't believe I hadn't written in SUCH a long time.

Well,there have been a few life changes.
Some good and some bad.
But hey, it is what it is and really, what CAN you do???

I need to update with a few Florida trip and a cruise....

But, guess what the really cool thing is????

I'm going to Hawaii again in February!

However, this time I am going to be spending a week in Kauai. Haven't been there and I'm really looking forward to it! I have a new little camera that will allow me to post video & photos. So, hopefully there will be some fun new travel writing.


Did I mention that the new toy is WATER PROOF????

Get ready to see some fish!
