Tags: winter break
My heart is still in the southern part of the U.S., where it was warm and full of my holiday memories. This past winter vacation, I went to Atlanta and Disney World in Orlando FL with my wife. We originally thought that we could leave the chilly weather in Ohio and Michigan and would have a sunny and warm vacation; however, it seemed that we brought the snow to the south.
Ah, finally back in Columbus after a very relaxing Christmas break in the South Dakota.
It has been a great break. I haven’t had 3+ weeks completely off in a long time. Even during my undergrad years I was never fully off. As a rower on the lightweight crew team, every free moment was spent training for the racing season. It was no surprise that I was a little unsure how to spend my winter break. To make it easier, I broke up the break into three blocks.
This blog entry is three weeks delayed. I flew back to New York City right after my last final on Dec 10th. I took a five-day road trip by buses and trains to a couple of cities on the east coast to meet friends and family friends (excuse me for a little redundancy in the sentence). Then the other two weeks delayed were spent on meeting family and friends in the city. Oh lord, home is so sweet!
Timeline: Sunday morning
I see: Liverpool vs. Arsenal
I hear: the commentators and my brother’s constant messenger sounds
I smell: yes, I do… I need a shower
I feel: younger

Yup, I’m home for Christmas break. The trip over was quite fine: I flew on Thursday to Fort Lauderdale and got a ride down to Coral Gables where I spent the night, and flew home from Miami on Friday. I can’t begin to describe how happy I was to be back in Latin America.
