I'm going on vacation! Yay! I wasn't sure if I was going to get to go because of everything happening with my brother/moving/the family, but I got him to cough up an extra $200 today (I should have gotten $450 if my parents had moved in with me instead of the $300 he's given me since they had to stay to give him somewhere to go) and made him take me to the bank to deposit it. Then I came home and found that some of the prices had droped on Expedia and that I now had enough in the bank. 4 nights/5 days and round trip airfair with non-stop flights for under $500. I'm staing at the Raddison Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. So cool! I've never really been on vacation before, and never by myself. I've lived in a lot of different places (we were poor growing up and moved a lot so my dad could find work) but that doesn't count. My Gran and my aunt have taken me along on a few of their trips, but aside from the family reuninon where we went to Disneyworld about seven (wow, has it really been that long?) years ago I've never really gone on a trip just for fun. The only thing that I'm nervous about is the fact that I'm going alone. I do almost everything alone, and I know I'll actually have more fun this way, but being in a strange city all alone has me just a tad scared. But not enough to make me not go *LOL* I leave in less than a month. It's my holiday gift to myself, I guess. I'm so excited!
Oh, and thanks to everybody who gave me their "Twilight" opinions. I think, after hearing all of you, that I'll just save myself the time and effort and give up on it now.
