on vacation ...

No, not me.

My boss is in Jamaica this week, which means people will be bothering me in his absence. At least it's a short week.

But I have booked a beach house for our summer vacation!

I think this summer will be our 10th trip down to Hatteras Island. We're going at the end of July. I found a house that looks fantastic ... it's always best to book early before the good ones are gone. Here are some highlights from last year, and one of my favorite pictures from our 2006 trip.

I'm also starting to plan a spring vacation to a Caribbean destination. It's looking like the best time to go is in April, so I've got to get moving!

Ah, I've done last-minute deals plenty of times. I know we'll figure something out!
