I’m very proud to say that Joanne and I are off on vacation!  Its the first real vacation we’ve taken in about 6 years… man how time flies!  This message is/was scheduled to get published at the same time my flight leaves… 9:10am (although now that I’m thinking about it, I’m not too sure of my localization settings…).  We’re off to hike around the rainforests of Costa Rica, and try not to fall into a volcano or get attacked by sloths, armadillos or tapirs.

Want to be be jealous?  We’re spending 6 days in the Lapa Rios nature preserve.  Check out the bungalow we’re renting.  Since we have no electricity anyhow, I won’t be bringing my laptop along on this trip.  Mrs. Killer Robot thought that would probably be a good idea.  I wonder what type of productivity I would have in a place like that?  There is something to be said for being inspired by the environment around you.

I’ll be getting back around the middle of the first week of September, and I’ll be sure to post pictures and tell a story or two, and then its back to “the daily routine” - which let’s be honest, is still pretty sweet.  Then I’ll probably spend the next 48 hours going through email, reading forums and trying to get caught up in general.  There’s also so much that I want to do with CodeIgniter and BambooInvoice, but I doubt I’ll find time given everything.

If you’re reading this on Monday, I’ll probably be dodging Howler Monkey’s throwing their poop at me.  Wish me luck!
