New Year's

On the way to Chrismakkuh dinner this weekend, Ken and I were talking about our plans for New Years -- or lack thereof. The past couple of years, we've rung in the New Year on the beach in Mexico with friends. We're not heading down that way this year and were planning to do something in Portland when it struck us that we could head down to San Francisco to see Rachel & Justin & Arthur & Liz & friends.

Hmmm. Less than a week to decide and book it, but we found a good deal on flights and booked it last night! How fun! I've always booked travel so far in advance, that I forget that travel can be spur of the moment and fun. Perfect timing too, as the puppy will surely take over some potential travel weekends, at least in the beginning.

So off we go to San Fran, leaving Friday and getting back on Sunday -- meaning a day to relax at home before having to go back to work. Sadly, Arthur will be in Toronto. But, Rachel & Justin & friends will be there. And it turns out Amy & Tom (who just got engaged last week) will be having a New Year's Eve party.
