Vacation fairy? This time Id choose to go to New Orleans.
I havent bought an electrical appliance in years but am due for a food processor.
And heres to corn dogs. With mustard!!
Where did you go for your last vacation?
To a beach in Maine What were some highlights of that vacation?
It was my grand daughter, Anna's first time at the ocean. She had just turned two. She ran down the beach, threw herself into the water and then licked her lips. Not water she was used to! She loved it & I was happy because if I have anything to say about it she'll be spending a lot of summers near the ocean.

Good morning all from a cool, but calm England. Now then, my last vacation was to Las Vegas. Judy and I had two weeks there in October. We had a great time as usual, even managed to win some money at blackjack. Great shows and food. Amusing Americans to talk to, can't have a better holiday. A three day holiday here in England would be in London. I haven't been for a few years now, it's about time for a visit. Have a nice day everyone!

Today’s Question:

Trying to remember when my last vacation was reminds me that it's been TOO long since I've taken one! Anyhoo -- I visited England/Ireland in 2006.
What were some highlights of that vacation?
I met up with some friends who are medieval-philes, so we toured a lot of church ruins and other historical sites, which were fascinating. I also took a side trip to Dublin, where I visited Trinity College and saw the Book of Kells. Absolutely beautiful.
