Vacation!
Well, generally I prefer to plan and dream and work on the vacation experience for a while so I can savor the experience. This week though, I am just ready to escape to the beach, and my family is so on board they were willing to leave early without me! We leave Sunday for Rockaway Beach on the Oregon Coast. It it near Tillamook, as in the cheese. If you have never been on their factory tour, you have missed possibly one of the most boring and disappointing tours of all time. It could be so good. It is not. Anyway, we are staying at a place someone recommended to my wife. Their prices were more reasonable than many and, they had oceanfront rooms left! No point in going to the beach if you can't see the ocean from your room is my philosophy. Wife's best friend will be there during the same time - totally a coincidence - so how great is that?
So, I expect to be out of communication until next Thursday, unless this place has unadvertised wireless access. I'll be wishing you all a safe and relaxing weekend.

So ready for a vacation!
Let me be really clear, I mean a vacation where I am employed and being paid. At this time last year we'd already been to Disneyland and had a beach trip planned. This year, with the job uncertainty and our savings account rapidly dwindling, we're staying put, at least until we know more. I'd be happy to find out I am staying put and being paid full time for the rest of the summer and then can reduce my hours, as needed, when school starts. I'd be OK getting a higher paid full time job, that will allow me some scheduling flexibility. I want good news that gives us some stability and a steady source of income.
Knowing that we went to Disneyland twice last year does help since I know that extravagance was crazy and expensive and worth every penny, and now it is a lean year. I can accept that. I also LOVE to travel. I love being on vacation. I love all things vacation-related. I love spending time with my family on vacation, in fact, I love that time the most of all. So - I really am ready for a beach trip, a camping trip (thought that sounds like way too much work with the little ones, unless it involves a cabin with a bathroom, and then I'm not sure that's considered camping), a road trip, a plane trip - ANYTHING this is for our pleasure.
Until it becomes a reality, I will keep dreaming. Sending out all these positive vibes into the Universe is bound to pay off soon!
Happy Weekend!
