longing fo holiday...

My feeble little twisted mind in plotting and planning. It has been a great while since I had a proper vacation and I am not sure how much longer I am willing to wait to get out and have fun.

.

I think part of my holiday longings come from living in a city with nothing to do. The place is dull beyond compare and now that it is getting hotter than hell it does not seem to be enticing me out of the comfort of the air conditioner. So holiday plans are swimming through my head.

.

In the military i can bank 2.5 days per month which adds up to 30 days in a year and I have no intention of wasting any of the days until I have amassed a substantial amount. Taking into account some upcoming TDY and a possible deployment it looks like a proper vacation will not happen until next year at the earliest. That affords me some time to build up my leave bank.

.

If I am looking to take the first proper holiday in maybe five years it needs to be a whopper of a holiday. Should I go back to Paris? I have been thinking about it as of late, the food, the shopping and the history of the place, maybe. England is a personal favorite of mine and I do have friends there, but to be honest maybe some place I have never been?

.

truth is I want to get on a plane and travel somewhere different and spend the days wandering the streets soaking in all the sights. Sit in a pub and drink until I am ripped and wake up in the morning and do the whole thing all over again. i am not the type who wants to lay on a beach or take a cruise with a bunch of old geezers. No, I want to see how others live in different countries and talk to them and even better, drink with them. Come home two weeks later and force everyone I know to look at every photo I have taken in the two weeks I had been gone!

It just don't get no better than that!
