Two Weeks of Travel.

After a very quiet Fourth of July (and it was quiet - living in the 'burbs ensures that), I now have a busy two weeks coming up.  On Wednesday morning, I'll be heading back to New Orleans.  My visit is two-fold... I'll be getting a needle biopsy done and then a new audio system put in my car (part of my 40th birthday gift).  I'm getting a touch-screen system with all the bluetooth stuff for my iPod, iPad, and iPhone that will automatically sync.  That makes me so happy!!  Also, I can watch movies if I want, also (or at least my passengers can).  This almost makes up for the needle biopsy and very short trip to NOLA.

However, on the way home from NOLA, I'll be picking up a very good friend and we're planning on having a Girl's Night Out at the IP Casino in Biloxi!!!  Pool, poolside service, room service, and of course our favorite box o' wine will make this a memorable stay!!  I can't wait to catch up and just hang out with one of my close friends for a night.  No husbands, no kids, no dog, no cats... nothing but some relaxation and fun.  I don't even care if I get a sunburn!!  :0))  I'm hoping my friend can catch some good pics with her camera and that the weather holds so that we can enjoy an excellent sunset.  I'm so fucking EXCITED!!!

Next week, on Friday, husby and I will be flying up to Washington D.C. for a wedding.  One of my very favorite nieces is getting married and we've decided to make a mini-vacation out of it.  We're staying at an upscale hotel (with a double-person jacuzzi in the room), 24-hour room service, fluffy towels, robes, and poolside access.  We only have to be at the wedding on Saturday night (and that is at La Ferme Restaurant - and it looks so delicious!!) and the rest of the time is our own.  I'm looking at other dining options and maybe going to the aquarium in Baltimore.  Hell, we might just be lazy and pampered... either way, it's a getaway.

I'm still undecided as to whether or not I'll be going to St Louis in August.  Husby is going to be there for over two weeks, and I could fly in and crash at his hotel with him, easy peasy.  Just don't know if I want to deal with traveling that soon again or not.  Next summer, we have a month long trip to Germany (going to both Ramstein and Landstuhl) and there's also a trip to Japan coming up in the early spring.  I look forward to going back to Germany (although I'm pretty sure I'll be spending most weekends in France) and I've never been to Japan, so that should be interesting.

And in between all those things??  House buying, painting, flooring, and moving.  Let's not bring all that up right now.  I want to ride on this good mood for a while!!
