Vacation, all I ever wanted.....

6:30 PM and I am officially on vacation!!!

This time tomorrow, I will be sipping cocktails poolside at a resort in Phoenix.

I realize I have a 3 day conference to attend first, but I have to admit, I'm really looking forward to it. It's the first conference for my professional group I've attended since taking the new job last summer, and I've got enough experience now that I have tons of questions to get answered, I'm looking forward to the networking, and I'm even looking forward to the exhibit hall to get caught up on the latest and greatest products and services in my industry. They've also scheduled enough "down time", to make it relaxing, and the Resort is none too shabby.

Then it's off to Sedona and the Grand Canyon for some real R&R!!

Stay tuned for photos and the intermittent travelblog.

I swear, next to Christmas Eve, there is NO better "Eve" than Vacation Eve. Blasting tunes, loading the iPod, packing, having a glass or three of wine, drooling over the books you want to read next week, and trying to find the binoculars and sunscreen. Oh - what a feeling......

Yep, you are right, nothing beats looking forward to a vacation. Have a great time!

Broadsheet,

I look forward to your post in a week where you detail the flight delays, traffic jams, freak weather, and other unanticipated screwups that will, in accordance with the curse placed upon you, leave you wishing for a return to beautiful Baltimore.

(And assuming this comment works as it should, your vacation should be perfect).

Snay: You are the Devil's Spawn. Zenchick has also noted my bad travel karma and is wishing good karma for me as well. I can only hope that this trip will go as planned (or as close as possible), and that Phoenix will not have major floods or tornadoes, and that the Grand Canyon will not collapse in on itself while I am there.
