vacation

Thank goodness for the internet when it comes to vacation planning. You young whippersnappers probably don't remember what it is like to try to plan a vacation in the ice age, that is, before the internet was invented.

Hubby has a vacation coming up and we have been surfing the net looking for vacation websites to help us plan the perfect vacation.

I recently found a newly designed website called vacations.net that looks pretty good.

The all-inclusive resort vacations are what really caught my eye at vacations.net. Most resorts prices include your room, all meals, all beverages, and all tips and gratuities. Also included are activities such as scuba and snorkeling. But wait, included in the resort price are entertainment and airport transfers. Wow.

I plan to do a lot more digging at vacations.net. It seems like if you book a vacation with vacations.net you can leave your wallet at home!

I didn't do all the things I planned to do while hubby was on vacation but we did manage to get a good portion of it done... I feel nice and clean now after cleaning the carpets... I bet I would feel even better if I got rid of some of this clutter!

I don't know why I'm such a pack rat... there must be some deep seated psychological reason for it... I swear I must have about a half dozen boxes and drawers just filled to the brim with electronics stuff, e.g., cables, wires, modems, phones, adapters, you name it, it is in there... and most of it is so jumbled and tangled up it would take hours just to separate it... I told my husband the other day we should just toss every bit of it in the trash and if we need something we'll just go out and buy it new... but have we done that...? heck no, we still have all the crap in boxes in the closet and we never even look in them... *sigh*

I bet I could sell it on eBay but shipping would probably cost more than whatever was bid on it, hehe...

So my husband is on vacation all next week...

I hope we get up off our asses for once and get some things done... Usually my husband sits and watches TV all day and I sit on the computer all day (so what else is new? haha) and at the end of the vacation we wonder why nothing got done...

I called Salvation Army to come and pick up 3 old televisions and a 30x60 desk that have been cluttering up the house for heaven knows how long... Unfortunately they can't come until Friday but at least I finally called...

Cat goes to the Vet on Monday to re-check an anal gland rupture that scared me to death - we thought it was cancer! He is doing fine now and has gained back some of the weight he lost so that's a good thing...
