Is anyone going on a vacation or holiday this year?
Even something small?
Tell us about it!

Due to taking classes and working this summer, I probably won't get the chance to take a "real summer vacation". I wouldn't quite call it a vacation, but this past spring I went to South Carolina for a few days to see my sister graduate from Marines boot camp. It was nice but rained most of the time. I spent St. Patrick's day weekend in Savannah Georgia, an eccelctic old southern town which I thought was really beautiful, and wish I could have spent more time in. We drove there, about 12 hours each way, and the views through the Smokey mountains of Tennessee were incredible and I wish I would have taken better pictures! (everything else was pretty boring save for the island resorts near our hotel). Overall a good trip though.
One thing I will definitely do this year is go to Six Flags theme park. I've been saying for 3 years I would go, and something always comes up. I really love theme parks, especially Six Flags, something about losing myself in the atmosphere, letting your imagination go even though its all a charade. Knowing that the only decision you need to make next is which ride to get on next, and when you do it becomes larger than life. It reminds me of being a kid again I guess, where everything is incredibly exciting but also reminds that I've never been to Disney World, and that i'm probably too old now.
Oh, and next year my vacation will take place in Japan for 2 weeks. Exciting huh?
