I don't think I can afford to take a vacation anymore, but maybe sometime this year I'll blow my 40 hours of PTO and go somewhere nice.
My options right now are these:
1. NYC. I've never been, and I have a friend who lives nearby and who has gone everywhere with me. It might be nice to see her in her natural habitat and sort of pay her back for always coming to hang out with me. I could go see a show, get some GF NY pizza, and get my wallet stolen.
Positives: I love Brooklyn accents because my grandmother had one. And shopping.
Negatives: I'm not much of a tourist type, and after all that time in Tokyo I don't know if I want to go into a busy place like that.
2. Hollywood. I've never been there either. I would have to go around by myself, but I could go to a taping and hopefully take a video of a celebrity fist fight.
Positives: Better weather than here.
Negatives: Slack-jawed yokels and stage moms.
3. Montreal: I went here when I was a kid and still remember it. It's as close to a European vacation as I'll get for a very long time, I imagine. GF croissants and people speaking French! Et un cafe au lait aussi, s'il vous plait.
Positives: Relaxed atmosphere and polite Canadians
Negatives: I need to get my passport renewed because America is stoopid.
The ideal vacation would be spending a month slowly snaking through Europe. That would be tres bien. A few days here, a few days there ... not sure how I could do that and keep my job or still have money, but that would be so awesome. Must. Win. Lottery.
Must! Finish! Book! By the way, I really have to know which one is correct grammatically, "I'm an NHP" or "I'm a NHP"??? "I'm a NHP" doesn't sound as sexy when I say it out loud =S.
ReplyDeleteYou're an NHP. Unless you're pretty far south of the Mason-Dixon line, and then I suppose you could be a NHP. I'm not 100% sure, but I feel pretty positive that I would never say the latter (and that it sounds weird).
