I've come to realize that travelling can be very addictive. If I have to have an addiction at least it's an educational one. I mean I've yet to be back a week from a six-week overseas vacation and I'm already thinking of other trips. We have $100 worth of credit with Allegiant Air which must be used before January 10, 2010. It appears as if we won't have the chance to use it. We don't have any time off or even three-day weekends before the end of the year. I teach right up till the middle of December.
There are some plans in the works. We do already have tickets for an 8-night stay in New York City over Christmas and New Years. Cathay Pacific has direct flights from Vancouver, and we'll be on one on Christmas Eve. We can visit Jay's brother. Also, I've always wanted to say I was in Times Square when the ball drops. Of course, I saw the celebrations as a child on television. When I was really young, I thought the change of millennium would make a great occasion. I missed that but it's never too late. Our last time in NYC was in May of 2005 when I took this picture.
