Absolutely Nothing

I am so tired.

All I can think about at the moment is taking a vacation. Even a short one. Three days would be sufficient. I need to get away and recharge.

Recognizing that much will change after the election, I am plowing through, awaiting the other side.

In the mean time, planning a little "mini-break" is proving to be quite difficult! Where to go?

I would love to hop on a plane and spend five or so days in Maui reading a book on the beach, but fear I would be there by myself due to the non-existent vacation status of my desired travel mate. This leads me to focus on a more local destination.

I have always wanted to go to Sea Ranch, but the accommodations don't appear to be quite what I have in mind at the moment. Half Moon Bay? Never been. Napa? I love Napa, but have been many times, however I recognize there is still much to explore. I love Carmel and Monterey, but feel I need a new place to escape to.

Anyone have any suggestions? A spa is a must. Beach or area to explore is a plus.

How about:

- Big Sur

- Santa Cruz Mountains (hike Skyline Trail)

- Bed and Breakfast in Sonoma or Calistoga

- Lake Tahoe (go ride some personal water craft, hike, catch a show at the casino's, feed said desired travel mate in the casino's)

- Hop on a plane to see Mom, it's a quick ride, and enjoy good wine with home cooked food. The Pacific Northwest must be beautiful this time of the year. Go wine tasting. To save even more money have said desired travel companion double as a masseuse.

Ant! Good to hear from you! It's been forever! How is Marissa? I hear from others that you two are the cutest couple! ; ) Congrats!

Marissa's doing alright. She broke her arm about 3 weeks ago. She's hoping to be back on the bike outside by december. It really messed up her cross race season though.
