Vacation Update:

1. American tourists look ridiculous. We try very hard not to look or act like most of them. The locals in Manhattan, especially the women, look like they've just walked off a fashion runway...not to mention (and I've gotten clearance to say this) that most of the women look Amazing!

2. Haiku:

It is hot, humid
I'm sweating everyday
But my tan looks great!

3. Took the long bus ride from New York Port Authority to Doylestown. Borrowed my father-in-law's car, a Prelude SH-Type with a 5-speed manual (peppy, high-revving, nice handling), and drove to a Philly suburb to stay with my wife's sister's family; a 2 year-old niece and 4 year-old nephew. They are a complete riot and our weekend stay was loads of fun.

4. Picked up a rental car from Enterprise. My mother-in-law had a bad-ass 50% off coupon (never see those) and with a free upgrade picked up a VW GTI 2.5 with a automatic manual tranny...this car rocks! Great handling, super-smooth tranny, nice pep. Made the long drive to Rehoboth Beach, a resort beach town in Delaware.

My in-laws have a condo here. We've been here for three days now...fantastic little town. Miles of pristine beach/coast, super quaint and cute shopping, a plethora of great restaurants, and a few miles from dozens of Outlet Malls. Our days are wonderfully lazy and generally:

- Start with a morning work-out (ran yesterday) on the mile-long pier.
- 2-3 hours of lounging on the beach. Today I built a huge screaming head from sand, about 6 feet long. Had alot of passersby giving me props.

- Lunch at home (basic sandwich/salad), shower.
- Hit the outlets, purchased some new work slacks today from Banana Republic Outlet, saved 50% and Delaware has no sales tax to boot!
- Go to a swanky restaurant for dinner.
- Walk the pier at night, play some Skee-Ball and Wack-a-Mole at FUNLAND.
- Pick up some ice-cream then head home.

Beach life rocks, I can do this everyday.

Gotto get some sleep. Later....
