More vacation & furniture talk

String cheese...I'm in a hurry. Lots of work to do today.

Vacation talk:
We have it narrowed down:
  • Ventura/Santa Barbara area of California
  • Miami area, FL
  • Galveston area, TX
  • New Orleans area, LA

Today I hope to have time to look at the actual lodging in detail and see if I can use my miles for tickets. None will be overly warm. The California area would likely be warmest, quickly followed by Miami. Galveston and New Orleans would still be chilly in February.

Furniture Talk:
After Chris came home with a box that was SUPPOSED to contain the right dresser, it ended up being the wrong, ugly one again. Sigh. We spent hours at the store on Saturday getting it all straightened out. Turns out they DID sell us the floor model without telling us (and charging us full price), so the manager profusely apologized and gave us floor model pricing. He's also still sending the retoucher out. I'm still pissed, but whatever. I love my new furniture. I still haven't downloaded the pics-sorry.

Oh geez!!! This has become quite the headache. *hugs*

Out of your list, which of those have you been to before?

*pout* what happened to the all inclusive in Mexico?

It was not-so-inclusive for this deal. And Chris isn't as excited about it.

Now? We are looking at cruises. Unfortunately using my airline miles is proving to suck.

Ventura / Santa Barbara!

Seriously, the southern coast of California is pretty spectacular, especially near Santa Barbara. Miami? Ugh! Don't know anything about Galveston and New Orleans? I probably wouldn't want to go there yet.

Would't you feel trapped?

Grrrrr about the funiture. What a PITA.

I vote Richmond, VA for vacation.

momma said...

Oh shit!!! Kimmy!!! I just realized you said February time frame for vacations...Isn't that Mardi Gras time in New Orleans?!?!?!?

kim (weltek) said...

Good call, momma...I need to avoid that first week of Feb. for New Orleans. *shudder* Mardi Gras NOT in New Orleans? Fun. Mardi Gras IN NO? Ack.

I'm keen on the cruise thing. I love cruises!

Otherwise, Santa Barbara area is big on my list.

Apparently while I was in a three hour meeting Chris booked our vacation. He won't tell me what it is!

I'd like to thank MTW for speaking on my behalf. You can't go wrong with the California coast.

Ooh! I will always support cruises. Best way to travel, IMHO!
