Wishing for a Vacation

I want, and need, a vacation so very badly right now.

Since moving here in December 2005, I have left the state once, and that was part of a day to hang out in Portland.

To be very honest, I'd die to get out of the Pacific Northwest right now and go on a vacation. My requirement of possible vacation destinations are simple:

• Must be East of here
• Must be in a different state
• Must be in a different time zone
• Must have more people than cows, corn, llamas, or whatever
• Must either be a BIG city or have one nearby

One can only dream, right?

Hopeful I am, but realistic I am as well, which kills the hopeful part of this equation.
