As I sit here at my desk looking outside at the horizontal mix of rain and snow, I can’t help dreaming of some nice warm beach in Mexico. The warm sand that I am walking on in my dream is almost to hot for my poor Oregon feet. I have to figure out how to get there instead sitting here working and dreaming about how to get to Mexico.

As I start to look into how to use my precious vacation time I check into flights to Mexico. The deals aren’t bad right now for a couple of weeks to soak up the sun. Now I have to figure out where I am going to stay. I can make this trip cheaper if I stay in a hostel or cheap hotels. Is it going to be safe and clean if I stay in one of those places? Maybe. Is it worth it? Definitely! Since I will probably just sleep in a hammock, it wont matter that much where I stay. Is there anything else that I have forgot? Yes, get the time off.
