I'm dreaming of a....

vacation. Part Deux.

While I was daydreaming of going somewhere exciting and somewhat exotic, the hubby confirmed that we are a go on scheduling a summer vacation! Yay!! Best part is, we only need to close one day and my gracious mother-in-law has offered to work Tuesday through Thursday for us! She's flipping awesome.

A few of our friends decided to join us on a summer getaway, therefore, the location had to be a mutual agreement. Destination: L.A. and Vegas. While both places have tons to offer, I'm slightly disappointed in the venue. You see, my family are L.A./Vegas fanatics. As in, they go to Vegas at least 4 times a year. No exaggeration. While new hotels and shows appear on the strip frequently, I'm a little burnt out. However, I am being optimistic since we're going with friends instead this go round! Plus, a vaca is a vaca and we're in desperate need of one stat!

On a separate note, has anyone tried their hand at Priceline's Name Your Price? I just did for a hotel in West Hollywood and it matched me up with Farmer's Daughter. Guess we just can't get away from Texas no matter where we go eh? Anyone been to that hotel? Reviews seem decent on various sites, but I'm still nervous about the place!

Happy Friday everyone and have a fabulous weekend!


*Posting will be light the following months as we are approaching busy season at work. However, I'm going to try and wrap up all our wedding posts by our 1 year anniversary which is rapidly approaching!

I'm dreaming of a....

vacation.

Work at both the corporate job and the shop have been uber stressful lately. As in I have at least 4 - 1.5 hour meetings a day (on the phone because I'm responsible for overseas business units) and then those side ones where your manager calls you over to his desk "real quick". As for the shop, business is getting better and better, which is awesome, but since we man the ship ourselves, we get burnt out. Fast! I mentioned several times in the past we only close the shop once a year (Christmas till New Year's), but this year, the hubby is thinking about closing the shop sometime in the summer since the kids will be out of school. As in the kids in town. You didn't think... Oh no. no. no. no. Although there will be a post about that later on. Our shop is located directly in front of the high school and junior high so the kids make up a good chunk of our clientele and in the summer, they sleep in well past our closing hours. With this exciting news (while it's not set in stone that we will be closing), I couldn't help but daydream about potential vaca spots.

Only problem is, I have no idea where to go! The hubs and I got scuba certified on our honeymoon last year so I'd love to go somewhere that has lots to offer in the underwater world like

The Blue Hole in Belize

Great Barrier Reef in Australia

Or we could return to Hawaii. Where it all started!

Then there's the option of being a tourist and visiting places like

NYC

Chicago

Seattle

Or we can take a cruise, visit a place neither of us have ever been to, or just stay home and be bum bums and sleep in every day! There are numerous options available, but yet, I don't really have yearning for one in particular. Hmph!

What's your favorite vacation spot? Any suggestions on where we can go?
