The wife has been nagging me about a vacation this year.
"What are you talking about," I argued. "We just went skiing
in Colorado a few months ago!"
"Five of us crammed into an $80-a-night motel for four
nights so we can freeze our butts off eight hours a day on
some mountain is not my idea of an ideal vacation. Me and
the kids want to go someplace warm!"
"That's gratitude for you," I said.
"You want to see gratitude," she answered with that special
look in her eye, "get me to a warm, sunny beach for a week
and I'll show you gratitude."
So now I've been trying to figure out some room in the budget
for another trip this spring. If I get the wife relaxed enough
who knows? I might even get anal.
Fortunately for me the travel industry has been barking for
business because of the recession. So there are some incredible
deals out there right now.
I belong to the Dunhill Vacations Travel Deals newsletter and
they always have great deals on airfare, hotels and resort
packages. If you're in the same boat I am you should subscribe.
It's free and if you're lucky...you might even get some too.

GPS
Do I look that shady? I just got a GPS for my car, and my
first trip with it was to a drugstore. Since the manual said
not to leave it in the car unattended, I brought it with me
into the store. While there, the GPS came alive, and a voice
stated, "Lost satellite contact."
I wasn't embarrassed until a woman turned to me and said,
"Your ankle bracelet monitor is talking to you."
