OK, I lied

I know I said I wasn't going to take a "real" vacation this year, but I just don't think that's going to work.

So, it's time for me to begin planning - which can be one of the most exciting parts of the entire vacation process!! Jim thinks I'm nuts, but I can search the Internet for hours on end looking for the perfect trip.

I'm envisioning blue ocean, white sand and friendly locals. Kinda like this picture that I took back in 2002 while I was in Mexico, only with palm trees - and lots of em! But, this little area was such a great place to explore!!

Let's see what I can come up with on my limited budget! Wish me luck!

P.S. This Penguin poking game made me laugh. Don't be impatient, he'll eventually tire of all the poking.
