It’s a Small World After All
Even though my new home is like a vacation spot, Sarah and I were talking the other night about vacation deals out there. If you’ve ever moved a family of 5 then you know you need a vacation after the fact. I’m not a world traveler but I have been to some amazing vacation spots in my day. Incidentally, if you want to see some truly amazing pictures on a weekly basis of local Scotland, bookmark Amy Palko’s blog. See if you’ve been to any of these:
- Hawaii: The coconut smell of Oahu and Kauai is definitely rejuvenatory.
- Washington DC: Nice to take the underground train and learn stuff about our country’s capital. Lots of restaurants.
- Arizona: Flagstaff and Apache Junction are nice places for Jeep tours. As is Sedona. The red rocks look like mars and people say there is a “center” or vortex there that has medicinal properties.
- Guadalajara Mexico. Middle class life all around you. Not like TJ where there is so much poverty and you take your good deals back to your hotel room fighting back the tears. Also Puerto Vallarta is great. Just avoid the sea of the dead.
- Florida: I’ve been to Jacksonville and Orlando. One day I want to drop in on my blog buddy Nick there in Myrtle Beach.
- California: The best spots are: Disneyland, the Redwoods, Fisherman’s Wharf … I could go on since this is my native state. Catalina Island is gorgeous. Very affordable and there is a buffalo tour.
So, I ask myself … what’s next?

Chicago is always nice this time of year ..week… ok, today. You just never know what weather you’re going to get here as it changes by the hour! You’d like the view from The Sears Tower and Navy Pier and all the museums! We don’t have coconuts, but there’s plenty of regular old nuts around for your amusement :)
