Costa Rica. Cheap round trip flights. Good local food and cheap enough to not hurt too bad. Excellent ceviche as well. Jungles, volcanoes, beaches.
Ugh. Finally finished work for the week... been a long one. Been in Vancouver for long, full days with the team getting shit sorted out for the next phase of my project. This thing is just growing and growing... enough that we now have inserted a new layer of management to keep things under control, and one small project has grown into 5 medium ones. Finally back at the hotel and cracking open a killer beer (boss started up a micro-brewery last month and we got samples!) and watching shitty B movies (always travel with a long HDMI cable to connect your laptop to the hotel room TV)... flying out early in the morning to get back home. It can't come soon enough. A vacation sounds like a good thing right about now.
Cuba. All inclusive. Make sure you go to La Floridita if you’re in Havana, just don’t stay in that city.
There you go. 'Wildered lives in the hot South not too far from water, I think. And, she'll let you sleep on her couch for free. PM her.
Shouldn't this be the "Watch out, Canada! Don't get hit by Chinese space station debris!" thread for this weekend?
Gulf Shores is actually a nice family friendly beach that draws a lot of snow birds from other areas. Just pay attention to the flags and you will be okay. Don't ignore the red flags and get caught in a rip current like that 17 year old kid from last week. I don't know if my house counts as a vacation, but I definitely keep my guests as inebriated and over full as they want to be. Come get some Creole food! I will give you your Southern experience. The 15 lb of extra weight that you'll go home with is free.
Where else can you go where the three most popular cars are the Hudson, Edsel and Plymouth? It’s like Hispanic American Graffitti but with palm trees and hilarious buskers.
Spending an hour and half on a Friday afternoon in a lecture on harassment is not my idea of fun. The only time I opened my mouth was when we were asked if we had first amendment rights at work and everyone enthusiastically said "YES!" I was the loan dissenting voice in the room saying "Nope." The speaker looked at me somewhat astonished that I knew the correct answer. Years ago I learned that coming from my background into the white collar world some of my shit doesn't fly in an office workspace. HR probably had my desk on speed dial when I first entered the professional work force. I learned very quickly to keep my damn mouth shut at work.
Savannah has always been a favorite weekend spot for me- fairly close to the beach, open container, tons of history, and an active night life. The squares throughout the city keep it very green and unique, you’ve never been anywhere like it.
Their club owners should have their balls cut off however, for endorsing the pay-and-toss tactics of throwing out people for no reason other then they already collecting a monster cover charge from them. Thieves.
Yup. Had that happen a few years ago at the Palms rooftop bar. Paid 100 dollar cover and our group bought table service. One trip to the bathroom and on the way out bouncer pointed at me and another guy exiting and said we were bounced for being too drunk and shoved us into the elevator right next to the bathroom, protesting proved we were unruly. I only managed to get ahold of my friend later once he was bounced the same way and was outside where his phone worked. We kind go made up for it the same trip, by sheer drunken confidence, shmoozing our way into the VIP area at the Wynn's club without paying the outrageous cover and then partying with these people that had ordered a table and like 15 bottles. That was the most fun Ive had in Vegas.
