My vacations usually stack up as a couple of long weekends with a few extra days off around the Christmas holidays. I try to structure them around holidays and the various weddings that always seem to sprout up during the summer months.

Most of my vacations are spent traveling to Wisconsin from Michigan so that my girlfriend can spend time with her family as well.

A couple dozen hours in the car is a small price to pay for harmony, and hey, I can always bring the laptop and code / play half-life when it's her turn to drive. She became more open to traveling with the laptop when she found that we could play a DVD and hook the sound through her car stereo to help her pass the time. *grin*

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
