This year we are renting a house on the down east coast of Maine, and planning to do a lot of biking, photography and reading. Just relaxing. We usually swap between this kind of a vacation and one where we go somewhere new we've never been and just soak up the new culture, foods and area. We've got a long list going of places we want to visit. We’ve started a tradition of going away on our anniversary.

It was kind of a homecoming really, people that I hardly knew that acted completely familiar with me. I'd like to take a real vacation soon, though. New Zealand, Australia, Japan, back to Jordan, and as much of Europe as possible. I never considered it a vacation even though that is the term I use to describe it.

Mostly, I just visit places within a few hours drive of home (Philly) -- places like Baltimore, Manhattan, the Poconos, Lancaster, etc. For instance, a couple years ago, we had a great time biking and rafting the Lehigh River Gorge. I also love checking out interesting architecture. I've been wanting to make it out to see Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Waters for years now. To this point, the only Wright design I've been in is the Guggenheim. I take all my vacation time every year, but rarely do any significant travel.

Going to Long Beach Island this summer for that. I'm REALLY not into sightseeing, but I will do it. When I went to India last year (for work), we took some side trips. They didn't really feel vacationy, because we did so much walking around in the heat. I also love a long weekend at a bed and breakfast with my man. Hot tub, wine, yum.

Al and I went there for his best friend's wedding when we first were dating. It was so beautiful. It is totally flat and since I live in NEPA, I was amazed. Loved the scenery, the cacti and the weather. We even went across the border into Mexico...interesting to say the least. Didn't care for the spicy food, so we ate a lot of McD's. But I would love to go back there =) I loved Arizona. Al and I went there for his best friend’s wedding when we first were dating. It was so beautiful.

Went down to see him for a week at the end of January and -loved- it. If everything works out, I'm going down there again in May. Other than that, my vacations come as frequently as the Circuit Overseer visits. My oldest brother lives on the Outer Banks. Went down to see him for a week at the end of January and -loved- it.

Plus, I don't get all that many opportunities for true vacations. So I take micro vacations. I'll spend a particular day, just relaxing, doing whatever it is I want to do by myself, without worrying about any kind of responsibility. These breaks help keep me sane.

Eliza and I also like to plan shorter, affordable vacations through out the year like trips to the Finger Lakes for wine tastings, trip to friends houses that aren't too far away, and - like this June - going to work unassigned territory!

I love vacationing. This month, we're going to Atlantic City for a few days ($19/night at the Trump Marina as a promo thing). In May, for our anniversary, we're heading up to Bar Harbor for a bit. In September, fingers crossed, the Outer Banks for a week with the Fehn fam, and in December, we're tentatively down to Florida for a couple weeks with Shan and Tim and the kids to escape winter yet again.
