Another Reason...: To go on vacation more often. For the second time, the morning after returning from a vacation (Cancun with my parents and brother), my co-worker who is responsible for the MIT Alumni Travel Program, walked into my office to ask me to be the staff host on a travel program. This one is in May and goes to Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. The only minor downside is that I was planning a trip to the national parks in Utah at that time, but that trip can be postponed and I am thrilled to go on this trip. What a wonderful opportunity! Woo woo!
