Spring Break


Hello Folks
Man those words "spring break" never meant much before...back home in Ja we call it good ole "Easter Break" but after 137 days of missing sunny 25 degree weather the word SPRING!!! is definitely more meaningful. So what I am going to do with this rebirth of nature...what else but breathe back life into mine too. Drop the books, shed the laptop and head for the airport.

Now I gotta admit that my travels here have been modest, besides going home in Xmas I've pretty much just enjoyed Dutch towns and my colleagues could say much more about travelling tips but I found Ryanair to be the best I could find. Sure they charge for everything, hand luggage, checked luggage and heard online they are planning to charge for use of the restroom...my goodness...but their quote for a trip from Eindhoven airport to Barcelona then Barcelona to Paris was less than my usual Easter trip to Florida which is a few miles north of Ja. I'd say that's pretty darn good. So guys http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/ it is. Of course doing it in groups makes hotel costs much cheaper but if you have friends to hook up while there...well there's more funds to enjoy french cuisine and spanish museums.

Coming back from Paris to Rotterdam I chose the bus, its 6 hours but i wanted to do an inland trip and see the sites. I used http://www.eurolines.com/
So there you have it!! There'll be more as the rest of the gang tells you what they did. So folks its Spring Break and though I'd love to be hanging out on the Jamaican North Coast with a cold Shandy in my hand, Shaggy on the land and the cool tropical breezes caressing my once sunstarved now sunkissed derriere...I'd say this Easter break is looking mighty good. Keep yah posted til next time.
