Thanksgiving / Christmas Plans
October 19th, 2008, posted in UncategorizedAll-
I know that the Christmas plans this year are varied, so I would like to start this post to try and get everything straight and plan my vacation time. I have the whole Thanksgiving week off and will be home for the majority. I am going to have lasik eye surgery done and have yet to decide between the Thanksgiving or Christmas breaks. I am also planning a trip to the Bahamas from Jan. 2nd to the 8th. Other than that I am flexible and I would like a chance to see as many of you as possible. Please post your planned vacations
Love
Johnny
