Random Thoughts… Vacation Edition!
I’ve got a little down time, so I thought I’d bust out the laptop and do some blogging. Time for some random thoughts… vacation edition.
- I’m in Sebring, FL staying in a couple condos with 6 friend from college: Chris and Amy Long, Jeff and Allason James, and Craig and Allison Guido.
- I don’t play golf, so I’m hanging out in the condo with Amy and Allison… and the blog.
- Yesterday we went to Gatorama! It was pretty cool, we saw bunches of gators, crocs, and even a few raccoons, panthers, turtles, skunks, and peacocks. I even held a 2 year old gator.
- This trip is the first time I used a GPS. It was pretty nice… if a little strange trusting it to take me the best route.
- Another trip, and more time with people that are married and have kids. BTW, I am still taking applications.
- We’ve played Texas Hold-Em the past 2 nights… last night I was in second place when we got tired of playing.
- It’s funny how much Facebook has changed communication. Not only would this vacation not have happened without Facebook, but we’re talking with and updating our other friends while we’re here.
- Its always a good idea to call your bank/credit card companies before you go on a trip. After arriving here on Thursday I discovered that I could not use my debit card. I tried calling the bank that evening, but they evidently were closed. I called the next morning and discovered that the bank had blocked all card activity in this area due to a recent large amount of fraudulent activity.
- Interstate highways in the south are boring.
- North-west Florida is a long way from Central Florida.
- This vacation will be over too soon.

Congratulations, you win the Florida geography prize. I am continually baffled by people from the panhandle not understanding the concept of central Florida. If I tell them I’m from central Florida, they so “oh, like lake city?” I say “no, more like Orlando.” “but that is south Florida!”
retards. A good 300 miles seperates central from south Florida. I’m from there, I know what it’s called.
It’s like someone saying pittsburg is central Pennsylvania. No, that’s Harrisburg. Get an atlas already, you southerners!!
