Vacation Variations

Sadly, DEC's work has dictated that our vacation must be postponed. Thankfully, it's only by a couple of weeks: instead of leaving next Tuesday, we're taking off on the 24th, just before Memorial Day. (And just after we join the group for Prince Caspian on Friday the 23rd!) More interestingly, we've decided to ditch the airplanes and simply drive. The twist is instead of taking the long and intensely boring trip down I-5 to Fresno, we're going to take a leisurely drive down the coastal route, which... read more

The Maui vacation story continues. Thursday, March 22 - Being Lazy and Shopping I woke up with one of my rare (but nonetheless painful) hangovers. Mostly, I had a headache, and my neck was painful and sore; some from the aftereffects of the drink, and some from the aftereffects of looking to my right out the passenger window for all of the road to Hana. I did some stretches to try to make it feel better, but the job would eventually be accomplished by a combination of Excedrin and a lot of water...

Over the 3 weeks I was gone, I kept an impromptu "LJ" going by hand in the 3-ring notebook I brought with me. And here's what I wrote, prettied up with links and pics and other assorted sparkly things, where applicable. ;) And awaaaaay we go! ;) ~♥♥♥~ *is waving to you from her vacation (and entering this in the computer when she gets home ;) )* Helloooooo, flist (and assorted lurkers, if you're out there ;) )! *smishes you all* I intended to write to you a bit every day of my "road trip"...

The best day I've had all week! Caught up on sleep for the first time in weeks. Grandfather's death certificate arrived today, listing when and where he died and where he in interred. No one in the family has this info, and I've been searching for over a year. It didn't help that he used 3 variations of his first and middle names throughout his life. My 18 month HL calendar (1997-1998) arrived today. I bought it to go into the auction bin, but I may have to keep it. It's too pretty to let go...

It's been a nice week! I beat the hell outta TK in GO last saturday! Mhm, I still remember your dirty trick! I went to see Simone Pedroni play rach 2 on thursday, but since TSO where all sick he played a piano recital. Bach, Chopin, Ravel and Mussorgsky. With encores frome Grieg and Horowitz (carmen variations). Eeeeeeeeeeexcellent. Tonight I've been drinking alot of light sweet beer. You see. I'm in Belgium today, attending FOSDEM. I love Bruxelles, such a nice city. It's full of alleys, good people...

To be perfectly honest, this week was lame. Since it was dead week, I spent pretty much all day every day getting ready for finals. I spent the first few days of the week getting my outlines all done, and then the last few days of the week strictly studying con law. What a disappointment that class was, especially when both semesters were taught by raging libs. Anyway, I had my first final on Saturday afternoon and now I have three more to go. This week I have business organizations on Thursday and...
