Pack Those Bags Under Your Eyes
So, did you spend Spring Break (those of you who still get it) sitting around doing nothing because even with you and three friends going together you couldn't sell enough plasma to finance a decent road trip? And the rest of you, those of you who've almost accrued enough vacation time to take a week off (if you spend the first two days "sick"), are you feeling itchy to get out of Dodge?
Well, via the wonder of the Internets, here are a couple coffee break getaways to quell that hungering wanderlust:
Well, via the wonder of the Internets, here are a couple coffee break getaways to quell that hungering wanderlust:
- Paris in nine minutes or less
Here's a quick little jaunt through the streets of Paris. No Eiffel Tower, but a few sights of sites you may find familiar. (Wikipedia article on the film, including list of famous landmarks)
(via google video of the day) - The things they're doing with computers these days
Some computer-generated terrain that's just as good as being there
(via digg) - And if you really must hit the road
Map a course through counties with "low cost" gasoline. Anyone ready to head for Wyoming or Montana? I hear Yellowstone and the Big Skies are lovely this time of year.

Been to Dodge, Texas, just to say I got the heck outta there. Not too far away from where I hang my hat or buy my bait.
About that dadgum wanderlust--I have a plan which encompasses both my curiosity as a writer and the exposure my kids need to survive this goofy thing called a life...
We're going on a Ghost Hunt.
Before you break out the holy water and crucifixes, chill.............
Last night I got to looking on some various sites (because I was giving up on current ms and seeing if I could gain inspiration for this other historical-type idea I've been holding onto for a year) and I found out about the ghosts in the history.
So what's the Mother of a RL SteinFreak to do?
Oh yeah, baby. Play the Ghost Hunt Angle.
Can we say $2.85/per gallon?
The memories--Texas History, Road Trip, Family History--priceless.
