West Coast, how I've missed you!


I've spent a good portion of my morning getting things organized for my mini-vacation back to a place I called home for a collective of 8 years: California. Being my plans to visit NYC/London/Paris fell through in June, I haven't officially taken a real "vacation" this Summer yet. I get incredibly anxious if I don't take a trip somewhere every month or so, which my very short trip to Chicago a few weeks back helped ease that a little. Next week's trip will bring a much needed change of scenery for the eyes, visits with very good friends and of course the sheer enjoyment of being nothing but leisurely. Our itinerary includes a road trip that starts in Las Vegas, then it's off to Los Angeles, then up the Pacific coast towards San Francisco and towards the tail end will include a night near Yosemite National Park and Mammoth Lake. Our very last night will end where we started: Vegas, where we've booked ourselves in a paradise tower suite overlooking The Strip. Ending the trip laying in a cabana by the pool sipping a cold cocktail and doing some gambling while watching an amazing Prince Tribute band was my idea of pure hedonism to end the vacation. I can't WAIT!
