“Two weeks” until we leave for Phuket, and another vacation.  That is our battle cry right now, at least for Judy.  I’m off for the next five weeks, so I’m going to try and get ahead on my school planning, and fully plan our personal trips in April and May, as well as the kids’ visit in June.  Then I need to solidify details on our July Scandinavian Cruise and followed by a return to the US.  I’m going to be spending way too much time on the computer.

Travel planning today makes my head spin.  So many different destinations and dates, I couldn’t stay focused on one activity, wasting lots of time, bouncing from one trip to another.  I finally take the time to type up a “Travel To Do” list, organized by trip.  It takes longer than I thought, but I finally have a “hit list” I can begin to work through.

Needing a break, I walk over to Metro for some grocery shopping.  I picked up the items I needed, but I succumbed to temptation and picked up enough ice cream for Judy and I to last several days.  I was a baaaaad boy!  After getting home and unpacking, I decide to balance out my ice cream purchase with some exercise, so I walk over to the Marriott, swim, and walk back.  I hope I’m not so sore I can’t walk tomorrow.  My knees are creaking pretty good when try to get up from my chair tonight.
