And we're back!

Cancun was great! There is nothing better than leaving all your projects in the throws of delivery to clients to go lay on a beach and do nothing but drink marguaritas, nap, make new friends, visit with old friends, snorkle, and do a little adventure spelunking!

Of course, a mere two hours into Monday morning, all this lovely relaxation had quickly dissipated .... and 12 hours later when I was still at work, feeding off of the office's lunch pizza left-overs and still cranking out slides, I could literally feel my nice tan sneaking away and replacing itself with the oh-so-lovely whiteness of my computer glow. It is a shame that the punishment for taking vacation is that you get to do two weeks of work all in one.

On the plus side, we presented the market research results from my travels two weeks ago to the client - and they loved it! Yay me (and my team of course)!

With no future vacations in sight, our next big adventure will be house hunting (or as Eric would like to put it, floor hunting - you see in Cambridge, even with over a million dollars you will only get a floor or two of a house with an outdoor parking spot - eek!). Nevertheless, we are eager to exit the renter's market and become a property investor.

On the postcard challenge front, things are coming along nicely. We are 33% of the way there, so keep those postcards rolling. Thanks for all the kind wishes for my dad!
