QOTD: What is your dream vacation?

I know this isn't really health related, but I'm so sick of cold and can't stop thinking about going some place warm.  I want to wear my short and capris!  I want to take my kids to the park!  I want to be WARM!  So, my dream vacation right now would be taking the family to an 80 degree southern CA to Disneyland, and then spending time at the beach getting a very needed tan.

My Daily Update: My mom came with me to the gym today (she leaves for Portland this afternoon).  I went 2 1/2 miles on the treadmill, did 10 minutes on the bike, then went downstairs and did upper body weights.  Today I just wasn't feeling it.  It was a bad "lung day".  I couldn't get very many deep breaths and felt like I was sucking air most of my workout.  My stomach also felt weird, too.  Don't know why that was happening.  Anyway, not my greatest day, but oh well.  The important thing is I DID it.  I get to do another session with Christine tomorrow and I can't wait!
