Vacation Envy

I always become insanely envious of people planning a great vacation. Domestic spots don't bother me so much, but tell me you have a long flight to somewhere exotic & I turn a dark shade of green especially when it is somewhere I have never been. Next month, my sister, mom & step-father are going to Singapore. What, a trip to the Far East? I look like an avocado. I also have a friend going to Doha, Qatar. Because I have been there before, she is asking me a lot of questions. My suggestions bring up many fond memories and now I want to go back. Plus, I have heard it has really changed in the last 10 years, so this trip makes me crazy too.

Add on to that, the fact that our big vacation is a road trip to Tallahassee, which is a very non-exotic place that I have been to many times. It even involves driving across the most boring parts of Florida. Plus, we'll be in the car about as long as we will be there (2 days for driving & 2 days to vist family members). The green is really overtaking my skin color. I just have to come to terms with the fact that our vacation time was used for funerals this year and we don't get to have any overly interesting experiences.

I admit a long flight with a baby isn't that appealing. Oh and my passport expired a few months ago. So, blah...Happy Friday from the green girl!

P.S. Please feel free to leave comments about your vacations (even exotic ones). That way, I can try to get over my envy issues and live vicariously through you.
