So, vacation-a-palooza took a downward turn. The resort was stayed at was pretty ghetto. We knew it going in, but parts were definitely worse than expected. The grounds were beautiful and the security guards did a decent job of keeping the wandering merchants away. The food though...was atrocious. $100 a night (for 2!) of all-inclusiveness is not something you want. It was kind of our fault for staying in Juan Dolio which is the old resort area, but it was our only Jetblue choice. Oh well.

Pics from Puerto Rico, we stayed in El Convento this billion year old former convent in Old San Juan. Ok maybe more like 300-400 years old, but that shit was AGED.

Coolest thing was a trip to the bioluminescent bay there. We kayaked out into this cove and hung out there for a while playing with the water. The little organisms in the water light up when disturbed, so when you put your hand in the water glows all around it. Take your hand out and as the water runs off it sparkles. The water lights up when fish swim through it...definitely a must see if you're ever in Puerto Rico.

Here's the rest of the Puerto Rico pictures

I got in trouble with the girlfriend for not posting this picture since we looked "super cute."

Had maple syrup, didn't see the coat factory. We were going to go on a Ben & Jerry's factory tour until we found a regular B&J store and ate too much ice cream, then the tour didn't sound as appealing. If you have nothing to do, and want to go somewhere an do nothing, I highly recommend Burlington, VT.

A few more Burlington pictures.

We've been really slacking on the posting, so here's a super quick rundown of what's been going on with me.

- Remodeled my house to sell it as part of my master real estate investment plan. Dismantling the rock band stage with Tom's help was a sad sad day.
- Sneakily moved in with my girlfriend without her actually asking me too.
- Girlfriend rented her house out, probably to get back at me for moving in with her without asking.
- Bought a house (also part of the master real estate investment plan) that the girlfriend and I moved into.
- Got fired. Wasn't personal, 1300 of my closest coworkers got laid off too. I blame all of you for not continuing to spend outside of your means. This of course was not part of the real estate investment plan.
- Spent time fixing up the new house. My mother is not impressed by how good I'm getting at replacing toilets and sink fixtures.
- Looked for jobs, didn't find any.
- Went on vacation! You may have heard of that Jetblue All-You-Can-Jet program. $599, fly all you want for a month. So, that's precisely what I'm doing. The girlfriend and I are in Burlington, VT right now. Why? Why not!
