DC Swamp

Usually when I depart Arizona for Washington DC during these home leave vacations it is a relief. This time Washington weather is worse than Arizona! Today it was well over a hundred degrees out, but with something like 90% humidity. Insane!

I met an old friend today and we talked about my writing, which was nice. He's always enjoyed helping me with my books.

We've met so many people over the years that my wife has every single day scheduled with various meetings with friends. It's funny how exhausting these 'vacations' always turn out to be. It will be a relief to finally get to Budapest next Friday.

    Safe travels. And, yes, I often feel like I need a vacation to get over my vacation.

    someone told me that no man is more in need of a vacation than he who has just had one :)

    hope you get some down time.

    Sounds like you need a vacation to wind down from your vacation, hehe. Hope you have an awesome time in Budapest!

    "It will be a relief to finally get to Budapest next Friday."

    I figure it would be nice if I could say this sometime in the next 20 years...

    The best vacations are spent far away from everybody.

    You'll need a vacation from your vacation. And yes, the East Coast is an inferno right now.

    I am just outside DC and I feel your pain. I walked from my car to the store and back, and was sweaty. Not just a little sweaty, SWEATY!

    It still sounds like you're having a good time. I always need a few days of vacation at home to recuperate from my vacations. :)

    I'd love to be able to just travel anywhere in the world like you, Ted. I say enjoy the benefits of having so many experiences at hand.

    We try to pack in so much into our time off. Of course, you want to see the friends, but a little down time feels good, too.

    Groovy blog, and what an interesting occupation:) I feel you on the vacation turning into a meet-and-greet, but it's all for the better good, right;)

    I was totally exhausted when I got back from my vacation. They always seem to have the opposite effect on me. Why can't I get home relaxed and rejuvenated?

    There wasn't much relaxing on my "vacation" either.
