Today's Question: When it comes to planning a trip, is it your job or do you pass it off to someone else? That's my speciality. I am no travel agent, but I enjoy planning our vacations. I search for the best deals and usually get what I want.



Extra Credit Question: Do you have a favorite salad dressing? Russian, Thousand Island



Bonus Question: What was the last tour that you have been on? Hmm, 6 years ago, our first trip to Hawaii, we toured Pearl Harbor.....breathtaking!



Just for Fun: Are you one to have your shoes already tied and just slip them on or do you tie them up each time? right now it's sandals everyday. However, when I go bike riding, I wear sneakers and I always have to tie them.

Today's Question: When it comes to planning a trip, is it your job or do you pass it off to someone else? Just me. Nobody else to do it.

Extra Credit Question:
Do you have a favorite salad dressing? Yes. My own. I mix olive oil, a smidge of sesame oil and rice vinegar. I have that almost every day.

Bonus Question:
What was the last tour that you have been on? A local art museum.

Just for Fun:
Are you one to have your shoes already tied and just slip them on or do you tie them up each time? I didn't know it was possible to have them tied in advance. I have a high instep; I'm sure it wouldn't work for me, unless I left the laces too loose.

I've been on Alcatraz also... not to serve time, but on a tour...

It is definitely a scary place, and it should serve as an example of what prison is like for those who are thinking about pursuing a life of crime.

Hey all. It's just another slow sleepy lonely day, just the way I like it.

Today's Question:
When it comes to planning a trip, is it your job or do you pass it off to someone else?
I'm too young to plan trips, or I always have been lol. If it's just me, I guess I plan for myself.


Extra Credit Question:
Do you have a favorite salad dressing?
No way, I hate salad, never eat it.


Bonus Question:
What was the last tour that you have been on?

Had to think about that for a second. I guess it was two years ago touring schools to see where I would go. But my first semester we did have a field trip, and the teacher did give us like tours of all the places we were if that counts.


Just for Fun:
Are you one to have your shoes already tied and just slip them on or do you tie them up each time?
Yup, I tie my shoes just once, when I get em and never again. I always just slip em on and off.
