Ok, so a couple of memes isn't a lot of interesting content. I'll have more time for posting tomorrow, I promise!

1. Where were you born?
Denver, Colorado (Presbyterian Hospital)

2. If you still live there, where would you rather move to?
Honestly, I don't want to live anywhere else as far as the region goes. I'd love to move onto some acreage Northwest of the Denver Metro area, though. The area between Broomfield and Loveland is really nice.

3. Where in the world do you feel the safest?
Here, at home.

4. Do you feel you are well-traveled?
No. I used to be back in the day of band tours, but since I got out of college, I've been to Texas and Tennessee and that's about it. *sigh*

5. Where is the most interesting place you've been?
Hawaii, I think. It was beautiful, a different culture, yet still a part of the United States. I'd really love to go back there, except that I'd have to go alone (or with someone besides Marcus since he won't fly).

1. Rented lodgings, or staying with friends/relatives?
Rented lodgings - we stayed with Marcus' folks once while we visited and we were miserable. I need some privacy and a place to decompress.

2. Lots of activities, or just lying around doing nothing?
I like a mixture of both. Too many activities and you need a vacation from the vacation. I can't just do nothing, though. Drives me insane.

3. Blogging while on vacation...yes or no?
I don't know. I haven't had a vacation since I started blogging. Probably short entries since I'd probably take the old laptop with me.

4. If you have children and/or pets...bring them along or make other arrangements?
Make other arrangements.

5. Do you cook while away on vacation, or eat out every day?
Eat out!

6. Do you pack light and plan to do laundry while away, or overpack and wash everything when you get home?
Overpack. I'll only do laundry on the road if it's an emergency.

7. Drive to your vacation spot, or take some kind of public transportation?
Drive. I really like having my own vehicle and being able to go where I want, when I want.

8. If you have a cell phone...on or off while away?
On. I only have my cell for really necessary phone calls, so I wouldn't really be bothered by it on a vacation.

9. Bring work along or not?
It would be really hard to make dough on a vacation!

10. Returning home with more stuff than you originally took with you...yes or no?
I always come home with more stuff, even when I don't try.

Well, Marcus and I decided to eat at the Flying J because it is close to the airport/I-70/home. We had the crappiest waitress. First the sign said seat yourself, so we did. A waitress never comes. Finally, Marcus went to the drink station to ask another waitress if we would get menus and some service. She brought over some menus and said that so-and-so would be with us shortly. When she finally strolls over, all she wants to take is our drink order. Marcus told her we were ready to actually order food and she seemed annoyed. So, the salad bar came with what we ordered, but she didn't bother to tell us to help ourselves. Then we had no silverware. Marcus tracked down yet another waitress for that. She asked Marcus where he was sitting and when he pointed to our table, she gave a "that figures" type of look with her eyes as if she already had a pretty good idea who our waitress was. Our waitress finally appeared with the milkshake Marcus ordered -- no straw. Our food finally came -- no steak knives to cut the steak. The waitress disappears again, so Marcus stops the first waitress again to get a knife. When our waitress finally strolls over with the check, she asks Marcus if he wanted a glass of water to go with the milkshake he had with dinner. He said sure, but he also wanted some take-home boxes for our food. She disappears yet again. Marcus flagged down another waitress to get us some boxes. After we've got our food boxed up, here comes our waitress with a box. How much you want to bet she was bitching about not getting a tip?
