We will do the weekend day trips as well. Generally places of historical significance or learning value.

Great, that sounds lovely, what temperatures are in the air, and in the water,

Air temp between 80-100 degrees. Water temp in the 70 degree area. We have a lovely time. Looking forward to relaxing. Last years vacation was a a blistering 5 days at Disneyland. Had an awesome time but very exhausting going to 6 parks in 5 days! We would do it all over again though!

Vacation? va-ka-shun?

<dictionary.com>

Latin vac---257;ti---333;n- (stem of vac---257;ti---333; freedom from something; see vacate, -ion); replacing Middle English vacacioun < Anglo-French >

Still not clear on the concept. Is this one of them French type words?

Hope the weather still holds true, everything becomes a little easier now and it will not be as high air humidity,

Vacation means more people flying and more work for me

I guess this ash cloud may even things out a tad!

I clearly arranged a free translation book in any language for you,

I remember taking my first real vacation as an adult (real as in going away someplace to have fun) about 3 years ago (I was 46). The way things are going now, it will be another 25 years before my next one.

Kudos to the people who have the time and the money to get away. I am envious.

Congratulations Chad...wishing you both many years of happiness together

Holiday wise...just got back from a short 4 day break in Hale/Chester and seeing as our trip to Alaska fell through last year (dependant on my sons shipping company 'Holland - America' having availability) we hope to do that this year but if no availability again it will be a visit to a travel agent one morning with the hope of a flight somewhere a day or two after.

My mate and his wife do that a lot, best deal was 5* all-inclusive for 10 days in Dominican Republic for £350 each!!! All they asked for was 'West'.

I've been threatening to do that since I retired but am usually afraid (when the time comes) of getting the package deal nobody else wanted

There are definitely mega bargains to be had out there if your lucky though....the real fear being a fortnight of nagging from SWMBO if your luck is of the bad variety
