Summer Getaways
As much as I love living in this city, I love visiting other places. It’s good to get way from time to time! Not only do you get a break from the grind, you get a chance to taste the good life other places has to offer.
I was in New Orleans earlier this month attending the wedding of a wonderful couple! I was so happy to see them so in love and excited about their future together. (BTW: It was the coolest wedding EVER).
New Orleans is just a romantic place to be, single or not. Between the food, music, and especially the people, you are bound to have a great time. I hope to get back to New Orleans for the Essence Festival and I will be headed out to volunteer on my annual trip in Mexico next week. I would love to squeeze in a quick trip to LA or NY this summer too.
What do you have planned for summer? Is there a special destination that you plan to check out with a special someone? Are you planning a girls weekend or a weekend with the guys in Vegas?
What are the top places to go in the summer if you are single and looking?
What do you think are the most romantic places to go as a couple?
What’s your most memorable summer vacation? You can change the names to protect the innocent, if you like!
Safe travels to everyone globe trotting this weekend!

Not to get off on a rant here, but since we’re on the topic of vacations… Yet another way “The Market” f__ks average workers over when completely unregulated: Americans take less vacation than any other industrialized nation.

Totally off topic:
I got a series of interesting texts yesterday from my ex (the now-lesbo). She noted that she still dreams about me (The Matterhorn, specifically), but the dreams have nothing on the real thing.
Guess she’s got a hankering for a heaping hunk of Swiss…. 
Flattering, but not gonna happen…

CNN is a great place to people watch.
@swiss ~ don’t know why women do that…text their ex’s telling them they’re dreaming about their appendages. I wouldn’t give an ex the privilege of basking in that knowledge!!!

I had a dream I was making some greens but I ended up having to go run and do something…long story short, I ended up burning them.

When you showed her the text, did you first say, Now aight now…mess up if you want to because I have puddy on deck. lol

“When you showed her the text, did you first say, Now aight now…mess up if you want to because I have puddy on deck”
Slim —
Uh…. yeah, that would not be a good idea in my case. If you’d ever seen Mrs. Swiss, you’d know why… I’d need a helluva lot more that 1 h0rny ex to even come close to equaling her options. 
I out-kicked my coverage by a long shot, so I’ve got no interest in what’s behind Door #2.

I think she may have been sick or her hubby sick and couldn’t afford the medication so she started robbing pharmacies. A 60-year old Bonnie (w/Clyde perhaps at the house).
