I'm leaving for London in 2.5 weeks! :D I can't wait to see my old friends again. Jake and I are also going to rock climb (not for real, on the foamy indoor ones...). That's gonna be really fun. I remember when we used to do it more often, I'd get pleasantly sore... a really good sore.

Incidentally (shameless plug, shameless plug), if anyone likes live music and is around any of these areas, my brother is touring:

You could be the creepy person who approaches him after the show and says, "I know your sister from the internet."

Going to Disneyland at the end of June. Two full days in both parks. Staying at the hotel shaped like a castle just a block and a half away from the entrance.

Grayton Beach in Florida, around the 4th of July, for my wife's side of the family's pseudo-reunion. They rent a big-ass beach house, and we get to visitate.

I'll be surrounded by rich snobbery, but it's a good beach, and maybe I'll get some fishing in! FINALLY!

Bitch please... I lived in Provence. Folks here don't know what great wine is.

And I don't know about the scotch thing, either. It's mostly beach bars down there, with some crappy craft beer. Still, I guess I'll just have to sample it all... *grins*

Having surgery done on my leg to remove a painful shitty cyst, then hopefully hop around for the 1200 weddings I have to go to this summer.

Vacation is once again a GO. Question is where and how long. NYC is no longer on the table. I'm thinking somewhere I haven't been before, and that means Midwest. Never been to Michigan or Wisconsin, even in passing... yet.

Well, if you do hit michigan, consider carving out some time for Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village.

We also have 4+ forum members close-ish to Ann Arbor, so if you do set time aside to visit with us yahoos, I imagine you'd get a number of us to carve out time to visit with you.

I think I know what I'm doing if I make it out of town now. :)

I'm getting greedy. A Vermeer exhibit's gonna be in Atlanta this summer. I reeeally wanna go but I don't know if we'll be able to afford 2 trips. But it's going to ITALY after that..... I might have to start saving pennies.

The Deli! That's my old stompin' ground! Saw tons of bands there when I was an undergrad. That's pretty cool! I'll see if I can make it.

Getting married in August, then heading to St. Croix for a couple weeks for the honeymoon and getting some scuba diving in.

The fiancé wants to stab some lionfish (apparently they're an invasive species there and you can go lionfish hunting), so who am I to say no?

Work. But I live in a tourist town, so there's lots of festivals and concerts in the parks, so at least there's something to do.

Once the semester ends in a couple weeks, putting a lot of of work into a few projects. Then in August I'll be moving to Long Beach to stay with my grandparents while I finish my BFA at Fullerton. Any Halforumites based around LA? Maybe we could meet up some time.

Couple of weddings to attend, maybe a couple of days at my parents' place on the coast, and my brother from South Africa is visiting for 3 days. Other than that, work, work, and occasionally, work. New car this year and the intent to go visit my brother in Africa next year mean no budget for a holiday this year.
Also, some home improvement - kitchen needs new floors.

I'm doing it! I've decided!

I was flip-flopping so much, but I've decided. I'm taking a road trip with a coworker to see the Vermeer exhibit in Atlanta. She's one of my favorite people at work--really deadpan and funny, we're into a lot of the same stuff, and she's dying for a girl's vacation (she has a family--all boys). So it's definitely a risk, because we have never traveled together, but she's so mellow and fun to be around that I'm going for it. I haven't gone on a road trip with a girl besides my sister in a loooooong time.

I really have to get some major headway in the project at work. The wife and I would love to go camping in Colorado (like we've done nearly the last few summers), but I don't think it will happen.

Also, I will try to make time to do some woodworking - furniture projects.

According to recent studies, neither do so-called wine experts. There's apparently a great deal of confirmation bias in wine. Experts subjected to blind tests could not tell the difference between a $4 bottle of table wine and a classic. They also could not tell the difference between a red wine and a white carefully dyed red.
