Sometimes when life hands you lemons, you don’t even have to lift a finger – life will make the lemonade as well.
Meg and I have been trying to plan a vacation for the past few months as she only has until October to use her vacation days and I am can’t use any past May. So we have been going back and forth on what to do and how to squeeze in a trip, when all of a sudden I am scheduled to be in San Fran this Friday for business.
BOOM!
Just like that – the lemon (i.e. our vacation days slowly melting away without being put to good use) had been squeezed into a nice, smooth glass of lemonade. We are now scheduled to be in San Fran until Sunday and then plan on spending two nights in Napa. Beeeeeeautiful.
So the moral of the story (besides learning better cliches to draw analogy’s from) is to keep your eyes open for hidden opportunities and to capitalize when given the chance.
In honor of our trip to San Fran, here is a link my friend gave me showing multiple good deals American Express offers for the ‘Cisco. For Napa, there are a ton of online coupons for wine tastings and websites devoted to tracking which wineries still offer free tours. Vacations can be expensive, so it’s always nice when you can save a few bucks.
Any suggestions for great places to see while out there…?
