In no particular order:

• Basking in the warm mid-70s weather of the gulf coast.
• Swimming with the Little Man
• Eating pizza and drinking beer at Doc’s
• Having a night out with Kelly including dinner at Tommy Bahama’s
• Writing 2 stories
• Reading the rest of the Dozois’ The Year’s Best Science Fiction 27th Annual Edition
• Reading Hartwell’s The Year’s Best SF 15th edition
• Hanging out with my in-laws, my nephew and my brother-in-law
• Going on long evening walks
• Hitting the outlets and shopping. Yes: shopping
• Attending Christmas Eve mass
• Driving through decorated neighborhoods, counting the fake snowmen
• Sitting on the lanai, listening to the water fountain
• Chasing the Little Man around the house, much to his delight (and mine!)
• Watching the Little Man open presents from Santa (and others) on Christmas Day
• Relaxing. Eating. Drinking. Being Merry.

I know it sounds like a lot, but I’ve got ten days to squeeze it all into. And you know what I won’t be doing on vacation? I won’t be working.
