Gettin' Back to My Cactus Roots--Tucson, AZ - May 13th, 2008

Dan and I are planning a trip back to the east coast in August.  We want to see our families and friends.  The thing about going back there is there is so much to do and so many folks we want to see, and usually not enough time and money to do it all.

Even though I enjoy my job, I love vacations.  On tough days, thinking about my next one keeps me going.

If we had infinite amounts of money (and goodness knows the opposite is true!) and two weeks time, August would look something like this:

Fly into Philly.  Stay with Dan's mom and brother.  Have beers with some of Dan's old Philly pals.
Take the train down to D.C.  Stay with my darling brother for a few days.
Take a train to Charlotte, N.C. to see my Aunt Marcie and the twins.  Stay for a day or two.  (This is the least likely.)
Take a train up to Providence to see Little Matt.  Have a gay old time for a couple days.
Go out to the Jersey shore.  See Dan's grandmother and other extended family.
Drive up to Jamestown to see my Uncle Richard, stay for a day or two.
Drive into Buffalo and see my grandparents and other Buffalo kin.
Get back to Dan's mom's place and spend a few more days with her.  Fly home.

And I'd also like to slip in a day trip to NYC in there somewhere.

I don't know what we'll actually get done in August.  Whatever it is, I'm sure we'll have a blast.  We won't get to see enough people, but we never do.

Off to rent Transformers and eat T.J.s for dinner.

Cheers.
