Truth be told, this wasn’t my first trip to South Carolina.  I have visited Myrtle Beach once before with my family.  However, I’m told by true Southerners that Myrtle Beach doesn’t count.  I assume this is because it is viewed as nothing more than a tourist attraction.  That being said, I feel very lucky that my trip to Greenville was my third trip of 2011.  Even though times have been tough, I’m so happy that I still have the chance to travel.*  It is truly one of my favorite things to do.  Greenville is an adorable little city nestled in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge mountains.  I got to indulge in a variety of different activities: we hiked, tubed, swam, drove through the mountains, and - of course - ate a ton of great food and enjoyed some libations.  I can’t wait to visit again, even if it is mostly to hear Southern accents.  They amuse me. Greatly.  And everyone has one.  It’s fantastic.

*A very special thanks to Marshall and his family for such an amazing trip.  I’ll never forget it!

This week has just been one of those weeks.  As I was walking home from my friend’s house on Monday night, I saw a huge orange ticket on my car.  Then, today, as I was driving back to the office, I got yet another ticket.  I’ve been staying at work late, and getting to work super early.  Needless to say, I’m pretty exhausted.

Days like today really make me think about taking a vacation, and here are a few overseas destinations that are currently topping my wish list:

Norway, Rome, Fiji, Bali, Greece, Paris
