Duran Duran was very popular here in the Philippines during the 80's but I prefer Spandau Ballet. Actually, I've got a very big poster of Tony Hadley in my room during those times

Hoepfully going to SD Cali in late May of this year if nothing comes up or if it does Go to Disney World in Orlando.

Actually, I'm staying home again. I have a well-stocked lagoon across the road, a place to camp on, and a beach to swim in. That's all I need!

In July I am taking my honey lamb and her parents (they are 90 and 86) on a tour of Detroit, MI and South Bend, IN for 10 days. HL's dad LOVES cars and so we are starting in South Bend (my home town) to visit the Studebaker museum as well as the Avanti museum and probably to meet my mom in the process (eeek!)

Then on to Detroit (where I lived for 20 years) to take a tour of the auto plants, go to the Henry Ford Museum and see the many many car attractions there. I love cars too so I have the great pleasure of hosting the rambling and organizing the festivities. I am very excited about it.

This is the first time I have introduced someone I have dated to my mom and certainly the first time I have introduced her parents. It feels like a big step.
I am really looking forward to showing my HL around my home town to see where I grew up. Also while we are there I am going to be overseeing the replacement of my grandma's headstone (she raised me ) and that will be a wonderful thing as currently there is a tiny marker and after the visit there will be a proper headstone.

We are driving from Houston, TX up to the north-lands, it should be an adventure.

I hope I get some good fishing in this year. I started fly fishing a couple of years ago and love it- but need to practice! Ocean salmon season began here this past week. Planning to do some of that. And I'll fish on my camping trips. Since it has warmed up, I am thinking of taking that trip to Bodega Bay in a couple of weeks.

Vacation? What's a vacation? "All work and no play makes for a very dull boy." (My grandmother always said that to me. I am sure it is a quote but I don't know from where.)

The one restaurant I visited in San Francisco that was particularly good was Absinthe. On my next visit to the Bay Area in June, we are going to Chez Panisse which, I'm told, is also very good.

You'll love Chez Panisse. I think I still have a couple of menus from when I was able to visit. I've been a fan of Alice Waters for about 20 years. It's amazing to be able to dine on the food created by legends.

If we ever get to NOLA, Cafe Bayonne is on my list. Love Susan Spicer too!

Any time off for the girl has been deemed to parental visits. Hopefully, one day ( before I am too crotchety to enjoy it..LOL ) we will be able to take a real vacation just for ourselves. I am always so grateful for any time we get to just "get away", even if it is only for a night. It helps us re-connect in a world that often robs us of our "quality time".

Its that good ole southern guilt that my Momma is just a freakin legend at creating...

After the boy graduates, its on... you and me... no dogs, no house projects, no nothin but getting lost in one another somewhere quiet... I vote we go back to Asheville to that lovely "cabin"...

EnderD_503 · 04-04-2011, 06:50 PM

In August I'm going to Germany for two weeks. I haven't booked my flight yet but uni gave me enough money back to book a cheap flight to Hamburg... so I'm determined. It won't be a long stay and I probably won't be able to make the long trip down to Bavaria where I used to live (would love to be able to make down there for nostalgia's sake but it'd be too expensive without a pass), but at least I'm going!

I'll mostly be spending my time in Schleswig-Holstein camping out at a festival with some friends and then probably doing some traveling around Schleswig-Holstein and Niedersachsen. I don't want to spend too much time in Hamburg because there's not much to do there, but maybe make it up to Lübeck (great city, first time I witnessed broad daylight in the middle of the night lol), over to Hannover and a few other places.

Really excited!

Just_G · 04-04-2011, 07:12 PM

I am really excited for the Reunion of course, but that is a whole other thread!

I am hoping business picks up just a smidge so I can get my ticket booked to Ft Lauderdale for my break in September, right after Labor Day weekend. My sister, my best friend, and I are going to go down for a week and stay in my buddy's condo for free. We will buy food and cook most meals there....and it is only a stone's throw from the beach! When you sit on the balcony, you can see between the buildings across the street and the sand and waves are right THERE! I am stoked to go lay on the beach and do NOTHING....NO studying, NO drama, NO computers, NO work, and I will be there with 2 of my favorite people in the world!!

Once I graduate in March 2012, I plan on heading to Mexico to do nothing on the beach; then it is time to get a real job and start my new exciting life!! All at the ripe young age of 40!!

Delish · 04-04-2011, 07:47 PM

I brought in NYE in Ft Lauderdale and stayed there a week before traveling through different parts of Fl for 2 more. I LOVED it there. If u haven't been there already u have to check out the Gayborhood! There is some FABULOUS resteraunts down there.
