VJ seems awfully quiet today, as is my office. You know what that means....vacation week! Unfortunately, I'm not one of the lucky ones who is enjoying a week of R&R. So I thought I'd humor myself and post where I wish I were on vacation at this very moment.

If you're like me, still stuck at work while everyone else is on holiday, add your dream vacation spot photo here and we can all day dream together!

I've never been to the Caribbean, Jamaica would be perfect for us:

Not everyones idea of a 'vacation', it's barren and desolate. But I like the quiet and the solitude.

I'd be on a road trip throughout Europe, definitely. Amed and I talk about it all the time, and we're determined to do it within the next couple of years. Get a car, start in Paris, go through the Loire Valley, into the Pyrnees, down to Provence, across into Italy, up north through Switzerland, then Austria, and somehow make our way to Spain and Portugal, too.
