Nobody mentioned July 14-21?? I get the beach to myself??? I must have missed the posts with those dates. Only 8 more weeks until our large extended family makes it to Seacrest! And a few of us will be looking for those beach chairs and umbrellas.

My dates have changed! I'm so excited! Coming down in two weeks. June 2 - 9. Doesn't look like anybody else will be there that week.

We may not be coming to the beach after all. Or anywhere else for that matter.
My husband had to sit down with the calendar and figure his work schedule from last weekend through right before we leave to come down there in August. He works a rotation schedule. One week he works Monday and Tuesday, then is off Wednesday and Thursday, and then works Friday through Sunday. Then the opposite week he is off Monday and Tuesday, works Wednesday and Thursday, then is off Friday through Sunday. And these are 12 hour days. He has to use 60 hours of his vacation for 5 days vacation, when it used to be 40 hours. But he claims that he actually will lose 13 1/3 hours per vacation day instead of 12 hours because of his rotation schedule and the fact that there is 4 1/3 weeks in a month. Does anyone on here happen to work any type of rotation schedule like this that would know if this is true or not? I do not see how his work can take 13 1/3 hours for each 12 hour vacation day he uses. But regardless, he says he is not going to do it and lose that many vacation hours for 5 days. I do not think he knows what he is talking about. The guy has four weeks vacation every year to my two. And he has to use it by his anniversary date every year which is August 5th, or lose it. Sorry for my belly aching but we are coming, that is the best week as we will have an extra day to rest before going back to work.

You are entitled to bellyaching! I would leave his butt home and go down without him!!!!!
The Mrs. and I making our first visit to Sowal July 7-14 in place of our annual Vegas trip. It's been 14 years since I last had my toes in beach sand so to say I'm looking forward to it is an understatement.
Not me, unfortunately.
Hubby and I are trying to save $$ to adopt our first child, so we've sworn off all luxuries for the next couple of years.
Somebody have a daiquiri for me, will ya?
Good luck on the adoption! Somethings are more important than a beach trip!

good luck amylouky!Paula it looks like we will be there too. I would love to meet you.
Thanks for the welcome, jdarg! Looks like I'll need to get a few more inane posts under my belt to rid myself of the Beach "Crab" moniker! God forbid my wife sees this. She'll be more than happy to say my reputation precedes me. :scratch:ATJoe!
