I envy you guys.

I have not experienced overseas trip so far.

It's so expensive, but I have no money.

and my summer holiday is too short to do it.

Tim, if you're into cars, and you're going to be going to LA, I cannot highly enough recommend going to the Peterson Museum. http://www.petersen.org

I'm not much of a car person, but I found it completely fascinating anyway.

I'd also be happy to have dinner with ya some night while you're out.

I'm not in LA, but near enough that I get up that way fairly often.

My 'Holiday' this year is a professional writing camp on Martha's Vineyard. I'll spend a week writing and having professional-sorts telling me to do it better.

My wife did it last year, and it was good. So, this year, I decided to apply. Imagine my surprise when I got accepted!

It apparently took me 35 years to get serious about having a career.

do you taste wine in the same time....?

Strangely, I don't think there's much in the way of wine production on the island! I don't really know why it's called a Vineyard.

That's why I'll be bringing tequila with me.

@ voidmonster :

English explorer Bartholomew Gosnold is credited with giving Martha's Vineyard its name. When he visited this area in 1602, he had two journalists on board his ship who documented the voyage. When Gosnold returned to England, a book was published describing the voyage and the name "Martha's Vineyard" was assigned to this island. Martha was the name of Gosnold's mother- in-law, who supposedly helped finance the voyage, and also the name of his infant daughter. At the time of the voyage, and still today, wild grapevines grow throughout the island.

And by the way, my vacation (in October) takes me to Danbury CT. Hope I can catch some indian summer there (although I think it will be slightly too early for that), definitely take some day trips to NYC and hang around my sisters house and play with my nephews for the rest of the time. AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE MY LAPTOP OR ANYTHING RELATED TO WORK WITH ME ! (at least that´s the plan .....)
