Summer Vacation for Beginners

Tim had decided to give up on the fancy futuristic (from his point of view) blackberry thing he'd gotten, and was completely failing to figure out how to use, or remember to bring with him, and just use the old fashioned pocket calendar. Which he promptly forgot to take out of his pocket before washing his clothes.

This is what happens when you get too used to having a Hobgoblin butler around.

"Hey guys, welcome to Summer Vacation for Beginners. And only halfway through the summer. My name's Tim Desmond, for those of you who don't know me. Now I don't know if you're all from places that have summer vacation or not. So just in case, here's the deal: Traditionally, schools in the US run from September to May or June. Historically, as I understand it this was so kids could go help out on the farm. Nowadays it's a handy way of figuring out when you're done with a certain grade.

"It's a time when some kids get sent to summer camp, like here. Or to summer school. Like here. We've got the best of both worlds. But it's also a time when lots of families take vacation trips. Amusement, and National Parks do a lot of business this time of year.

"Today, in keeping with tradition, we'll do introductions. Say your name, where you're from, even if you don't think we've have heard of it, and where you'd like to go on vacation. It can be someplace you've never been, or some place you'd like to go back to."

[Up late due to technical difficulties. Sorry. I wrote this first 'cause it made me feel like I was apologizing as soon as possible.]

"Angela Montenegro, and I am from DC," she introduced easily. "Most recently, anyway."

"Oh, and I would love to go to Thailand. Ko Phangan. I would be all over those full moon parties."

"I'm K-Mart and I'm from... well, kinda from all over the place. And I'd love to go to Hawaii sometime."

It was just so radically different from anywhere she knew, after all.

"A... what?" She blinked, confused.

"I'm Alex Russo, from New York," she smiled. "Manhattan, to be more specific," Alex clarified. "And I'd love to go to Australia."

Pretty boys with pretty accents, who could blame her?

"I'm Shilo Wallace, from New York. And I guess I'd like to go to Maine," she said a bazillion years later.
