4 Days Til Sabbatical

4 Days until sabbatical 09 begins. After 7 years working at Intel, employees get 8 weeks of continuous paid leave. So for the first time in ~12 years I get a summer vacation.

Here is the sabbatical plan

Day 0 (Friday June 19th): get out of work after lunch and head straight to Prairie City OHV park with my dirt bike. Ride with Shane, another guy going on sabbatical the same day. What a great way to celebrate.

Day 1: Do nothing. Maybe play some ufc on xbox while still in my chonies.

July 3rd: Leave for Ireland - hit up the Jameson plant and Guinness factory. Fly to spain - run with the bulls and sight see. Drive to France - follow Lance along the tour de france in the pyrenees mountains. Bounce back and forth between France, Spain, and Andora following the tour, seeing the sights, camping along the way.

July 15: Fly back to the US.

July 21: Mom and Dad arrive in sacramento

July 24: Lauren and I take off on the US road trip. Follow this trip here.

~August 5: Meet parents in Tahoe.

August 9: Return home

August 11: Mom and Dad leave:

August 16th: Cry.

August 17th: Start the next 7 years.
