Thanksgiving Holiday
Interestingly, I spent my two consecutive (and the only two) Thanksgiving holidays in the US in Florida. I was working out there in Tampa last year; and enjoyed my first Thanksgiving meal with my roommate's family. This time, Cinde and I had a rewarding trip to three cities in FL - Tampa, Orlando and Miami.As always, it was so nice to see our office campus (yes, it indeed deserves the name!) and the residence where I spent 5 months living on the water in Tampa Bay. We then departed Tampa and started our 840 miles of driving in Florida. Utilizing our two days of stay in Orlando, or rather like Disney parks...between smart usage of the fats passes and skipping proper meals, we cruised through the four main DisneyWorld resort parks there and got a brief taste of the theme parks. Surprisingly, that was actually my third Disney journey (second to this Orlando location, plus once in Hong Kong Disneyland). The fun part to me began on Saturday night when we drove across Florida - from the turnpike to I-95, it was nice and I guess I do miss driving. If there are a few things I would complain about living in New York City, it has to be the followings:
- Fewer Driving
- Far from the water, well, Ocean!
- So far from home (China & HK)
- Pricey fruits, esp those seedless grapes, a.k.a. CK snacks
Frankly, I enjoyed the vacation even though it was a little rush - we had early arrivals both ways given the peak season traffic. Now, a big problem and dilemma is: with only 3 days for Christmas and no vacation days left, plus the expenditures this month; how am I going to convince myself not to think of traveling again too soon...
