I hear ya, I would give my left arm to be able to go lay someplace warm and sandy near the ocean for a good week or so. *sigh*
Alas, this year's vacation will be a three day drive to Ontario to visit the husband's ailing parents. 5,000 miles in the family van with kids in tow... not exactly my idea of relaxing.
But at least we have lots of fun things planned for the next couple of years! Next spring we're finally taking our honeymoon (5 years late, but better late than never!) And in 2010 we're going to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, although that'll probably be more like a couple of weekend trips as opposed to an extended stay.
If nothing else, at least we get to live in a vacation area year round, so even if we're not on vacation ourselves, this time of year always feels vacationy.
