I have not had many vacations at all. Last year I missed my plane to SFO so didn't get to hang out with Del and Hannah for the day like we had planned, that sucked pretty badly (although the rest of the trip was great).

I dislike most "holidays" because they involve spending a lot of time and money to visit my in-laws, when I would prefer to either be alone (I usually spend "Thanksgiving" alone), or to see my family (an impossibility).
