Andare, Partire, Tornare ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No good whining about it, Yay, three day weekend, two days of work, and then another day off and I might take Friday as well, since it's just sitting there inbetween two days off just crying out to be another vacation day. This time of year spoils you rotten, with all the vacation days and festive parties and eating. I'm obviously not yet ready to settle into the routine of the new year. It's looking pretty certain that we won't see Italy this year - at least, the anniversary trip isn't happening. Taxes, extra fees, and surcharges combined to nearly double the fare price, making a six hundred dollar trip turn into one closer to a thousand, and we just don't have the extra funds to cover it. We'll tuck the money away and start a nest egg for a trip next year, but I have the feeling that some crisis or another will force us to use that money. It always happens. I'm going to put a few things on Ebay and stick the money directly into savings, and we'll see where that gets us. 11:38 a.m. - 2005-01-16 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
