Quick turnaround, going to Punta Cana with the folks for their 40th anniversary 12/3-12/10. PC has been getting drenched with what is looking to be the early stages of a hurricane that will hopefully be long gone by then. I could use some time at the beach with a cold Presidente or a hundred.
Hard to believe I'm going to need to start a new thread in a few weeks for 2017...
But next year it's looking like a couple of big trips are possible. I have a friend who is turning 40 and wants to take a big trip, either to Hawaii or a smaller Caribbean island, and I've been trying to steer her toward St. Maarten since there's a Home Away I really want to rent there and it's surprisingly not that expensive although the airfare is. Then, in late August, early September we're thinking of doing another long trip, either Spain, or Argentina. I really want to go somewhere new (we've been to Europe 7 times) and Argentina has been on my list forever, but the flights are brutal and pretty expensive. And, I would like a reason to buckle down and really try to learn some Spanish.
Iceland always looms large, too.
I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?
