It is no secret that I can be something of a workaholic. But, despite my workaholic tendencies, I am taking a week-long vacation next week between Christmas and New Years. Although I am yearning for a quiet, stress-free vacation at home, I though it would be prudent to brainstorm some ideas for low-cost things to do while I am on vacation.Here is the list of low-cost vacation ideas that I have come up with so far:
- Take the Amtrak Capitol Corridor train up to Sacramento to take my nephew to the California State Railroad Museum (The place hasn't changed in 30 years, but it's still awesome!)
- Look at houses, condos, and townhouses for sale in San Jose and surrounding areas. I am considering purchasing my first home, and shopping for houses is a great way to kill an afternoon and get a little exercise while I'm at it.
- Drive down to Santa Cruz to visit my old church (Christian Life Center, Santa Cruz) for worship and some fellowship with friends and fellow believers.
- Visit Petroglyph, the local pottery-painting store and make a food/water dish for my youngest cat, Chowder. I'm going hippie, y'all!
- Log some contacts on the ham radio, or perhaps build a better stealth ham radio antenna.
- Power-level my main toon on World of Warcraft to level 80 so I can play the new expansion, Cataclysm.
- Have coffee and cigars at Orchard Valley Coffee in downtown Campbell, and get to know the locals.
- Attend a local model railroad club or amateur radio club meeting.
- Learn to cook one of the many recipes I have saved to my recipe box on allrecipes.com.
