Vacation Planning
We had it all worked out! We were planning our summer vacation and looked like we were going to stay at Cheeca Lodge as there were some great rates. Florida, for some reason, just didn't put a sparke in me but I was finally coming around to the idea of a Florida family vacation when a co-worker informed me today that the Keys don't have white sandy swimming beaches. So, all those hours of looking up hotels in the Keys were for naught and I ended up at square one today... don't you hate when that happens!
We sorta have to go to Florida. We have two free tickets on Southwest and Florida is the only sunny, beach place that Southwest flies to. I'd love to replicate our Kauai vacation from last year but last year we had free nights at any Marriott and this year just Southwest tickets. So now I'm looking at the newest Hyatt which opened up in Bonita Springs just north of Naples, Florida. Expedia has an amazing deal if we go before October. I wonder if we'll melt in September?
I had to work all weekend. My co-worker has spent the past year creating a new human resources database which he, unfortunately, forgot to tell me about. Friday when he was going through the old database, he noticed some fields that he didn't recognize and realized they were fields my program uses! DOH! I've spent all weekend redoing my DLL to get the data from the new tables. Not really what I wanted to be doing.
Emotionally, I'm feeling really great in my real life but a little awkward online. I can't quite pinpoint it exactly but something is not sitting right with me - a taste of something but I'm not quite sure. I'm hoping some yoga tomorrow and meditation will help me see through the trees.

I think it's polarity at work. Lot of power IRL, not a lot online ... lots online, not a lot IRL. Can't have both. It's a theory! :b

how about Texas? Does SW fly to Corpus Cristi? They have some beautiful beaches (not absolutely CERTAIN) that they are white...
Let me think, but I seem to rmeember that Mississippi has what they call "sugar" beaches - super white sand. If you're interested I'll get details.

I think Lucyna may be on to something - maybe the more focus/energy you put into RL, the less energy/patience/focus you have for the online stuff (the drama, etc). I know that whenever I am processing/analyzing stuff about me, I get very quiet online.
Remember to leave room for me in the suitcase :>

If you are looking for a place to vacation in Florida, I cannot recommend Seaside highly enough. www.seasidefl.com. We've been there four years in a row now and I don't think I'll ever feel the same about any other beach. It's on the Gulf - the beaches are beautiful and the town is amazing. To stay in Seaside, you rent a house through the cottage rental agency - you can browse the houses on the website. Don't know about the Southwest Air aspect though - AFAIK, the closest airport is in Panama City.
