Can I get a HI 5!!!!

I don't know if have heard of this web site, but I have been reconnecting with family and friends all over the world. I've known about this site for a long time and I'm sure you have also, but trust me it's a very good and free site. Over the past few weeks, I have been in steady contact with my family in Jamaica and the ones on the UK, since they seem not to answer the emails I send directly to them. They seem to enjoy responding to the HI 5 emails, don't know why but they do. So people can I get a HI 5!! Thanks!

I've gotten a week off from work over here. I'm trying to find places to go so I won't have to stay home. I'm still thinking on a few places even though the vacation starts tomorrow. Well I am in England so my plan is to see some famous English sites. Won't tell you which ones until after I have gone, sorry. That is about the only thing I like about Europe right now, they give you vacation even when I've only been working four months for them, crazy huh? The last job I had it took me a year to get two weeks off. Over here the standard is four weeks off a year, and that's even if you just started working. I was told by my boss that I might get another week off before Christmas, how nice is that? But if I was getting paid a little bit more I would be much happier, but I refuse to stay home on these days off. I worked for years without taking leave and I will never do that again. So I make sure I go somewhere every year, even if I can barely afford it. The few things in life that you can never get back, and that's opportunity and time, so I try and use them as much as possible. You can always get money, if your smart.
So my European adventure will start in the good ole UK, and hopefully end up in Italy some time next year. Will be taking plenty of photos, no digital cam so the photos will probably take awhile to be posted. Peace!!
