Looking forward to: Maui! A well earned vacation with my husband. I’ve learned to always make sure you book a vacation, even if you have to do it months in advance. When you are working on a college campus, you need a week off in the middle of each semester. Makes us all wish they had a “fall” break, similar to “Spring break”.
