I need a(nother) vacation

I wish I could afford to take 2 or 3 vacations a year. Taking a Halloween cruise is a nice break from the cold, but then I have 5-6 months of late Fall and Winter weather to go through, including Christmas with my brother's family :b . Beginning in 2009, I may go back to doing January or February cruises so the wait between the cruise and Spring isn't as long. I'd have to skip the Halloween 2008 cruise, but that would give me a few extra months to build up my account.

I've been able to wake up on time without my alarm clock for the past couple of days. I don't know what it is, but when I wake up, it's only a minute or two before the alarm is set to go off.
