On Vacation!
I'm on vacation!!! And boy it feels great!! The last time I had any vacation time, you would need to turn the clock back to May 2003, right after I finished my internship with Discreet Logic (now known today as Autodesk Media & Entertainment Solutions...Hey! Try to say that four times in row! Isn't that a mouth full or what? :) ).
A lot has happened to me since, I've worked my butt off to be where I am today. Honestly, it will be quite refreshing taking some time off, not finding myself the whole day in front of a computer screen and thinking how to design or program a project for a full week!
"So John, where are you going on vacation?"
I'm heading to Youngstown, Ohio! We have relatives over there, all on my father's side. We are going there for a very special occasion, my second cousin is getting married this Saturday!!! He is more of a first cousin then a second really. My brother/girlfriend and myself will be staying at my cousin's new house in Akron, Ohio. Hometown of Lebron James, if this helps anyone ;) My parents, uncles and little cousins will be staying at my cousin's father's house.
It should be an exciting week ahead! We are leaving tomorrow morning around 5 am by minivan! According to MS Streets & Trips, it's a 960km (600 mile) trip. Here's the route we are taking:

Depending on traffic conditions, border crossing, eating and washroom stops, the trip can take well between 9 to 11 hours!
The only sad part about leaving on vacation, is my cat, Oliver, will be left all alone in the basement for a week! :c( Thank you to all who offered help for taking care of Mr. Oliver! I greatly appreciate your kind gesture and generosity, but trust me for your sake and mine, he is better off here! :)
Seriously, I would feel bad leaving him at a friends house. I just know how Oliver would behave and drive all of you nuts! I'm afraid you would want to kill him after a day! :) Oliver can get very annoying when he doesn't get what he wants! He is an outdoor cat, quite the independent and the dominant kind!
Our neighbor will be feeding Oliver daily at our house. Good luck Oliver! Stay strong, play with your new toys and be nice! You'll get to go outside once again when we get back....Promised! :)

Well, seem like to be a long (but great) road trip! Hope you guys have some stuff to do to past time! Seriously, how many time do you think you guys will waste juste to go to the bathroom. You know that they sale "des gadgets pour pisser tout en roulant!" hhahaha!
Oliver, j'espère que tu va pas foutre le bordel chez ton maître, mais profite en à fond et paye toi toute un party, you know, cat's open house, bar open for every chicks!
Take care buddy! Have fun!
