You'll have to give me the full scoop on pros and cons so we'll be ready. It's always fun with another couple, especially for an extended stay. I saw the waterfall photo (above) and couldn't help but get excited.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693123434507948894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14064784.post-34250149632946828362007-06-14T08:04:00.000-05:002007-06-14T08:04:00.000-05:00Your vacation plans sound great!We only camped onc...Your vacation plans sound great!<BR/><BR/>We only camped once b/c I'm not a camper...city girl here.

It helped me get a job last summer when we were overseas and also let us call home all the time for relatively free. (International calls cost a little if it is to a phone instead of someone else's skype computer.)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687001132573317490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14064784.post-14052038842380837622007-06-12T13:18:00.000-05:002007-06-12T13:18:00.000-05:00It's a video chatting program.

There's a lot more you can do with it, but we used it for that last summer when we were Buddy-sitting, so they could see their kitty, and we could see them!<BR/><BR/>I think it's skype.com.

I'm sure we'll be using Skype a lot, too.... :)<BR/><BR/>I think that's the fall we'll tour. It was on the website.

Its the perfect way to hang out when you don't live close enough to pop over for dinner. We could meet up in San Antonio or something. :) And that picture is pretty. Is that the falls we will tour?Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687001132573317490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14064784.post-20716377412410142532007-06-12T08:38:00.000-05:002007-06-12T08:38:00.000-05:00@John: I just hate getting to the end of the year ...@John: I just hate getting to the end of the year and wondering if I have enough left for Christmas time with family. So, I'm trying this year to use the days a little less, so I'll have a nice cushion I can "keep in the bank." (That's wise for if I ever get sick, too, though I've never used them as sick days.) But once I have that cushion, I completely agree with taking the time off and enjoying it.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17733559271848774694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14064784.post-50571455687387664982007-06-12T07:36:00.000-05:002007-06-12T07:36:00.000-05:00Why do you want to carry over vacation days?

Do you think your boss would let you take three or four weeks off in a row? I'm getting close to that point already. I have just over my yearly allotment of time off banked, and I don't think I'm going to use it all this year. Just take the time off when you have it, and enjoy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
