Went to NY state for 9 days in july to see the wifes dad...not a vacation in my book...used to take the boat to the bahamas, go to missiouri to hunt, long weekends here and there......all before this economy took a dump. Now I don't have a boat, and haven't taken a vacation in 3 years. Even missed my brothers wedding in Az. Next trip we do will be Costa Rica for a week, buddy is buying the tickets, I have friends down there with a house to stay in. May make it to Missouri to hunt this year, not sure yet.
