And of course, wherever Nikki is in Europe, Chile/wherever Whit ends up in South America, and Germany, because visiting people is always the best excuse to go anywhere.
As for America, my current to do list is New Orleans, which I'm planning on hitting up for Halloween. This will be huge for many reasons. 1) Never been, always wanted to go. 2) Hate Halloween, and can't remember the last time I seriously celebrated. Except for that one time when Ryan made me, and I wore my librarian costume from the librarian party the weekend before AND I won worst costume at the party (but i got a prize!) Anyhoo, I missed the holidays so much while I was gone that I promised I would go all out this year for every holiday. What better place to go all out than in NO? 3) My dear Michelle is leaving me soon and will be meeting me there in what might be known as the best reunion ever. (Except when I came back, because clearly that was more highly anticipated.) 4) I'm trying to bring along multiple friends to make the celebration even more fun and the hotel cheaper, so if you're interested let me know!
Tomorrow a few of us are going down to RI to Vinko's place for Sloshball. This is a drinking wiffleball game that I am not prepared for. But his place is near the beach and it should be a good crew and nice to get out of the city again!
Last Friday I went to Martha's Vineyard with a few people from my office and it was a really nice day. We spent the morning laying on the beach near the jump-off brdige from Jaws. Then we just walked around a bit and had a great lunch and some drinks. Very similar to Nantucket, but I think I liked it better. Nantucket was a little too "every thing is exactly the same" for me. I couldn't see myself spending an extended period of time in either place, since if I'm going to vacation at a beach nearby, I might as well go home) but both beautiful places, and I'm glad I got to see them. It was nice because I went with a different group of people to each island so it was definitely a different experience. All-in-all though, I can't afford either one of them on my own.

Last but not least... A great friend of mine is raising money for the Light the Night Walk through the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of a friend who passed away. Please take your time to read this:

new orleans is awesome, beautiful yet dirty/old. great for a holiday, and usually still warm in oct/nov. but be warned, you definitely need SOME sort of halloween costume, as the roads in the french quarter and marigny are packed with people you can barely recognize. and make sure to go down frenchmen st and decatur st.
if you have time to take a ride up to the universities, some great restaurants/bars are up there. cheap drinks along magazine st at ms maes, good drunk food at balcony bar (or F&Ms on tchoupitoulas), lots of beers at bulldog; and on oak st alllll the way past carrollton, jacques-imos and dantes are great food. and if youre adventerous, oak and hillary is snake and jake's bar. plus you could find a free frat party by walking down broadway.
theres also a club on the top of the world trade center (the X building with a round top, or ampersand [you know, "&"] on tulane ave, none of which ive gotten to visit
