The original plan had been to visit New Orleans, then I'd decided to accompany a girlfriend on her trip to Guatemala.
Real life expenditures wound up causing me to have to defer plans of going away at all, for the time being. My sons are both in college now; one's a sophomore, and the youngest just started his freshman year. I still owe a considerable sum of tuition money combined, and it ain't gonna pay itself.
I'll actually be picking up a second job here shortly. I spent my vacation researching other gigs that I can work in with the hours at my current job/other commitments, and helping out my folks. My pop's not doing that so well, so I spent a lot of time with him. And got some extra rest, which I'll be needing.
It wasn't a bad vacation at all, actually. Definitely better than the salt mines!
Aww, well at least you had a nice break anyway. Hope everything turns out ok with the tuition and your Dad
@Kevin and Nymph - Same thing over here in Old England. Autumn has come on really suddenly the past couple of weeks, we have a violent thunderstorm and then it's been cold ever since (anything below 15 degrees Celsius is "freezing" to me, I think that about 60 in American temperature). Mom is nervous to turn on the heating too since we've currently got no hot water and the boiler it rattling.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
