Hopefully soon after will be going there and NOT coming back ;)



You will be notifying all your stalkers of the change-of-address, right?:|


Already have it. Cameras are due to be installed shortly. :P


I am sure there will be a couple of people around tech savvy enough to hose up your cameras ;)


If the cameras are already active, he's gonna get more than a eyeful of someone else he probably wouldnt want to get an eye full of! lmao!!!!

Don't worry, I have a girl monitoring the feed, who will then record only the portions of eeneR and send them to me via carrier pigeon

hells yes it does! I love the feeling before I trip ON ACID! I'm going to Maine in a month & I can't freakin' wait! I'm so excited about it, that even my busted up leg from this weekend isnt bringing me down. I just keep reminding myself that it'll be all healed before my awesome vacay so I shouldnt worry about it. B|



Fixed it for ya

Coming home, unpacking and slipping back between those familiar sheets is a whole 'nother kind of happy.



I just tried a trick a friend told me - put fresh sheets on the bed before leaving for vacation. Makes the return that much sweeter. It sure was nice to come home from LP to nice, clean sheets!



yep, I clean the entire house before we leave. also, pay for the vacation up front. it sucks to come home, and then have to pay the bill.

You have a girl, and can't think of anything else for her to do but engage in stalking for you?:S

my vacations don’t make me "happier"
I enjoy them immensely and sometimes the anticipation is huge.
Like this years visit to the states is for tunnel time. that has both anxiety and trepidation attached to it. I have spent a very large (for me) sum of money on it and one fear is that it wont be value for money at the end.

I try to limit my expectations for outcomes as much as possible and just go with the flow when travelling, however i don’t always succeed in that.:ph34r:

Having said that, most of my vacations involve travel, and I LOVE World Travel:)

According to this article in the NY Times, the anticipation of the trip might positively affect your level of happiness more than the actual trip itself. I found this to be interesting and true on some level. On some trips, I wish I hadn't gone at all! Thoughts from anyone else? Do you find this to be true?



I haven't had a chance to read the article, but it is an interesting concept. I would think that level of happiness may be influenced by emotional affect resulting from anticipating a vacation. We react naturally thanks to the pleasure-pain system wired in our brains first and pleasure = no work = vacation. That is at least a natural instinct, before we start consciously think about it (e.g. stress from planning a vacation).

Personally, a vacation is a happy/memorable one depending on the company you're with. A simple day of driving to a neighboring city and spending time with the right person can easily become a vacation for me. :)

It was the guest bedroom, not the master bedroom.
That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.;)

Absolutely true for me. The longer that I have to anticipate the vacation, the better. I've never understood spontaneity.

What is equally enjoyable is the remembering afterwards. The actual vacation is my least favorite part.
