Tomorrow I am off on vacation for 2 weeks to visit Thailand!  I can't wait.  We are spending a few days in Bangkok and then heading to Phuket for a week.  Thank you to all the AR's who have sent me pictures and tips to help prepare for the trip. 

Here are 10 things I don't want to think about while I am gone:

- Shoveling snow.

- The crappy winter weather we have had in Chicago this year. (On track to be the 4th snowiest ever)

- Blogging (Sorry, but I need a break).

- The Transfer Tax Situation going on in Chicago right now. (FYI $10.50 per $1000 purchase price to close on a house starting April 1!)

- Zestimates.

- How much money I am losing on my investment properties in FL right now. (I know, think long term...)

- Cold weather that makes pipes freeze and burst and the ensuing parade of contractors to fix a destroyed basement. (Thank goodnes for insurance)

- Yahooadvertising. (My husband works here and talks about it obsessively, we don't "google" in my house.)

- The Chicago Property Tax bill I just had to pay, which was an expensive fiasco (I'll spare you the details, but they messed up my bill, again). 

- The impending raise of the Chicago Sales Tax to 10.25%. 

After reading my list, maybe I just need a break from Chicago taxes... too bad that won't happen.

So 90 degree weather and humidity, here I come!  I was thinking how out of touch I will feel by not visiting AR every day.  But something tells me I will get over that pretty quick....

See you in 2 weeks!
