The Bahamas, are calling me. They are whispering in my ear about fruity frozen drinks with umbrellas, sandy beaches with crystal clear water, and startling fresh seafood.

Luckly I'm going on a cruise to the Bahamas on Monday! Some friends came up with the fan-tab-u-lous idea of going on a cruise a few weeks ago. When I found out, my phone almost caught on fire because I was dialing the travel agent's number sooo fast!

Since today is my last day at work until I get back from my Caribbean vacation, I decided to celebrate. I wore a pair of flip flops to work. :D

(Yeah, it is kind of a lame celebration, but the real celebration starts tonight at a swanky party with lots of red wine... YUM! )

The problem is apparently my IQ has already dropped to vacation level (see note at bottom for explanation). I just realized my flip flops are two different types. Thank goodness they are both black...although with different accent colors (See the picture above, I apologize for the poor quaility. It was taken with my phone)....


Vacation Brain Cosmo

NOTE:
Since Orlando is one of the vacation capitals in the world, Orlando residents interact with vacation goers frequently. In some ways this is excellent opportunity. Meeting gorgeous guys (and beautiful girls) from out of town is super easy. (Guys from out of town = no commitment & a nice date!)

The down side, is vacation brain. When on vacation almost everyone chills out and tries to just enjoy life (Thus forgetting things like how to drive safely, or wearing mismatched shoes). This means that tourists are constantly crossing roads during green lights or cutting people off in traffic.

All that said, most residents love tourists. Even if a floridian isn't interested in meeting new people from all over the world, or dating someone with a Scottish accent (YUMMY), the fact that FL residents don't pay state taxes because of tourists is a huge bonus.
