Vacation?


I was wondering how dsnAK is doing lying on the beach in South America?

Any body going to take an exotic vacation this winter?

A chaperoning trip to the beach with the kids and their friends at spring break is about as exotic as it's going to get this year.

Joe!!! He asked if anyone was taking an exotic vacation..... Not an erotic vacation!

For crying out loud man, pay attention!


I never get to take any fancy vacations.

My girlfriend is off to Mexico with her sister tomorrow.

I have my annual trek to Myrtle Beach in April planned.

I have not left quite yet - still waiting another week yet. Our annual winter vacation is a must and rejuvenates us before a hectic and long summer building season.

Enjoy!!!

Re: Vacation?


I do a two week scuba trip to the carribean each fall.

I purchase my materials with a "miles" credit card. buy enough that the air fare's been free for years.

If you buy a lot of materials, you ought to try it.

I wish - I worked outside until December this year. Will get back out side in mid march. I do not do much excavation but mostly remodel work so I am lucky to get work inside during winter. Our summers seem quite long b/c of the long days - the sun and light is like fuel for us...

thom- I do the same, everything on a miles credit card - i can not use them fast enough... only 40K mile to South America from Alaska!!!!
