So I've decided to take a mini-vacation to Europe Feb. 1-3 and need an opinion.
My objective is to eat some good food and see a few sights. I am torn between Ireland, Scotland, Greece, and Portugal... So, cast a vote. P.S. - tickets to Europe on that weekend are ~$500 if anyone is interested

Right there is a few thousand dollars. Plus, since the trip would cost me $800 total (with hotel), it's not really "thousands". -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

I'll be working long hours setting things up etc in our offices....but I'll get a little time to have fun even if it means sacrificing some sleep. I'll have to tough it out on business class at a minimum for the flight, and as long as they aren't too booked, the Four Seasons in Hong Kong at the International Finance Center (where our office is), and the Grand Hyatt in Tokyo !

My old vice was buying coffee for breakfast and lunch at a restaurant. That was killing my bank account. I own a Mac laptop and a mouse from them... That's it.  My biggest expense right now is my car payment and it's not that much. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
