Making Conversation/Planning Vacations

C: "So you start holidays next week, eh? Any big plans?"
D: "If one more person asks me what I'm doing on my holidays I'm going to lose it. You know what I'm not doing? Hanging out with people who ask what my holiday plans are that's what."
C: erm okay, clearly someone is in serious need of a holiday... "Taking it easy then. I'm not a planner either. I've got holidays next week and I have no idea what we're doing. Playing it by ear I guess."
D: "Yeah, playing it by ear" (and losing the rage).

Fast forward one week and we still have no idea, though I am excited that I have three, that's right three, more work days until I am officially off work for two weeks. Things I've thought about in the last two days include: camping in the mountains (aka the staple), going to PA for the best cheesecake ever (erm and camping), flying to Toronto for a Bluejays game, doing some much needed work around the house, going back to Quebec City for an actual holiday (too bad flights and hotels there are so expensive for that to be an unplanned jaunt). What we'll definitely be doing is spending a couple days with my Mum and having some much-needed family time. Beyond that it will be on the fly so to speak.
