Random Wordplay for Wednesday 4/3/13

Delayed Vacation Gratification.

Used in a sentence:  "What an off year 2013 is, what with the annual winter trip to the south postponed from January to later this month, and the annual spring trip out west being shoehorned into plans for mid-July -- it's like someone is teaching someone a lesson in delayed vacation gratification."

Bottom line -- I'm just glad to be able to still take vacations as we all fight and claw our way out of the Great Recession (hey -- I'd retire and travel and write tomorrow if the lottery was won with numbers I chose -- or, more accurately, with numbers the computer chose as I embrace the randomness of it all -- or, most accurately , if said lottery was over 100 million, as, with my bills, anything less than that doesn't seem like it will really make a dent). So if Florida happens in a fortnight and California occurs in July instead of around this time as it's been in 2010-2011-2012, that's just fine.

And to kick off travel season -- a spring break appetizer of sorts (and b t dubs, check out the appetizer I'll be eating in 48 hours at the link below) -- a getaway to this city coming up this weekend.  And "this city" reminds me so much of back home in Harrisburg, but with all the midwest charms and naturally friendlier folks.  Look out Indy ... here we come!
