      Oh, OK. Thoughts of achieving that are what keep me working, when I have long days to get through. I still love programming, but if I have to do a stretch of 14-16 hour days, I start to wish I was doing something else, for at least some of the day.

        Oh, nice. This is why I never go anyplace nice :P Actually, my wife is threatening a family holiday later in the year. I was supposed to visit the Amazon in two weeks, but it fell apart due to time problems. That would have been cool, I hope to still do it, sometime.

                  It was the most incredible 8 days of my life. My wife and I have been very depressed since coming back. We're going to sell cookies door-to-door if we have to but we are going back. We decided we need a vacation more often than every 12 years...:doh:

                    Move to Hawaii!! There are a few IT company there and it's just the way you like.... Or maybe go to Bali, the place of endless summer. On top of that with a few years of American savings you could live all your life over there (albeit simply..) :D

                        Forgot to tell you Jamaica is directly south of Florida so it's in the same weather/seasons as the U.S. for the most part. So December is the *very* off-season time to go there. The tourist season is March thru September.

                                We went to disneyworld in the summer - MISTAKE !! Well, it was still sorta fun. Hoppin in the pool at night was the BEST. And the kids had a blast gettin drenched in one of the almost daily rain dumpin marathons :) How was the temp/weather in Dec ? Probably in the 70s? We were gonna do that instead of disneyworld, but didn't get visas (or passports was it? i fergit) in time... I keep seein that bluuuue water :) ...Steve

                                  It's pretty much constantly 77 to 85 this time of year and it's amazing. Still quite hot with the humidity in the high 80's but it was wonderful. You keep seeing that blue water I keep remembering all of it and I mean *all* of it. It was mind blowing. That was my first time ever to go snorkling and the water is to cold for sharks and it still was like bath water. I couldn't believe it. I'm way beyond hooked on Jamaica, obviously or I wouldn't have registered a domain and erected an entire site to the experience...:cool:

                                      Yah Mon! It's a good time. No worries in Jamaica. We stayed for 8 days and my wife and I both think that 10 to 14 would have been better. But we've kind of lived an unreal hell for the last 6 years so maybe that was part of it. We'd sell our soul's to get back there again if we could. I've already thought about selling my car. I told her if we sold it we could stay a full month. Of course I'd be walking after that but who cares about *after*. I promised her if she ever took me there again I was going to rip up my passport as soon as the plane landed on Jamaican soil.:->
