Last night the Scientist mentioned to me that perhaps we should start saving up for a vacation. He knows I've been wanting to go back to Palm Springs, and I've been dying to take him with me. I used to go once a year, but I haven't been back since my trip in 2006 with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fava_bean. Most of all I really want to go out to see my uncles again. I've seen Uncle Joe many times since my last trip out there, but I've only seen Uncle Richard twice at most. He obviously came out here for our wedding, as he was a reader during the ceremony, but it's not like I had a lot of time to spend with either uncle that weekend.
Anyway, so since the Scientist mentioned it yesterday, it seemed rather fortuitous that I should get an e-mail from Southwest Airlines this morning stating that flights to Southern California are on sale. I did some quick fiddling with the website and discovered that the Scientist and I could fly to Ontario (about an hour north of Palm Springs) for $530 round trip over Memorial Day weekend. BOTH of us. And since it's a holiday weekend, we get four days of vacation but only have to take three days off work. Boo-yah!
I sent an e-mail to the Scientist, and he was all on board for it. Theoretically we should be getting a sizable chunk back from our tax return, and that should help us pay back his parents and fund this trip. So I called my uncles and talked to Uncle Richard (Uncle Joe has jury duty), and he was totally up for having us come visit. Which means that I just booked our trip to Palm Springs.
PALM SPRINGS!!! It's just about my favorite place ever! Seriously, I love it out there. And I'll get to see my uncles, and show the Scientist the desert, and can I just say YAY!!!
