I'm leaving on a jet plane...

So tomorrow I'm leaving on a jet plane for two weeks of family fun (?) in Hilton Head, South Carolina... Not sure when I'll be able to post again. Hopefully there will be a few trips to Barnes And Noble where there is wireless available for purchase. If not, I'm likely to go insane with only my Ipod and a sudoko book to keep me entertained.

As a last hurrah before I leave for the land of golf, I spent the weekend going back and forth between my grandparent's house in Brooklyn and my aunt's apartment in SoHo. It was a really great couple of days and I was able to see Vicki, Tracy, Michael, and the G-Rents one more time before heading to school since I probably won't be back till Thanksgiving. Here are some of this highlights of the weekend:
  • Watching the entire second season of "TrueBlood" (and then a day later talking about it with Michael)
  • Getting my haircut at the Salon owned by Nick Arojo, the guy who used to do hair on "What Not To Where" (My hair has not been this short since Victory... and no, Nick did not cut my hair)
  • Taking the ferry to Staten Island and then immediately taking one back to Manhattan (because really, what is there to do in Staten Island?)
  • Walking on the High Line in the rain
  • Learning I have a higher tolerance for scary movies than I thought (I watched "Last House on the Left" with Vicki and Michael and appeared to be enjoying the gory scenes a bit too much... Vicki was a bit frightened [of both the movie and me])
Hopefully this vacation will go well. Although my family and I have been going to Hilton Head for almost 10 years, this will be the first time i've been there where it has just been my Dad, Stepmom, sisters, and me. As long as I am able to find some time alone, I should be fine. But I must say, I am extremely excited to lay on the beach with a diet coke and my Ipod and get a great tan.
