Happy Home
Maybe we're not ready totally ready to forgive the airlines,but according to my exasperatingly hip friends (both of them), the vacation of the future is the "staycation," where you simply stay at home. I don't think you have to remain at your domicile, per se (although sleeping in until noon is pretty fecking awesome), but the principle is that there's plenty of stuff to discover within a reasonable driving distance from your couch.
It's a pretty obvious idea. As much as I loathe my hometown, there were always plenty of great things that awaited me a mere 48 minutes down the highway from it. Wanderlust is pretty cool on any level, even with gas at $3.66 a gallon. In Cleveland, there are plenty of things to experience, from hearing AP web administrator/design dude Rob Ortenzi spin tunes during a sweet mealto finding snacks for your MP3 player to simply rocking out.
"Whatever, dough-head," I hear you say, for I can smell your thoughts. "What's your point?" Well, I don't have one, other than telling you I'm on staycation away from the AP Skyscrapers for a week. I'll be back on the 18th, rested, tested and personally bested in something. (Naah, I don't know what that means, either.) So go get some more career advice and I'll see you in a bit.

Are you complaining about gas being $3.66 a gallon? I WISH gas here was that cheap. Right now it's $3.78 a gallon, and that's by far the cheapest it's been in MONTHS!
haha, well ive got both of you beat.
the cheapest ive seen over here in southern california
is about $4.03 a gallon.
how's that for expensive?
...makes me slightly glad that
i dont have my license yet.
I think that those of us in Alaska have you all beat at $4.33 a gallon. which is interesting when you take into consideration that Alaska is basically one giant oil company.
