Shocking...

The people at the plant (other than the ISPs) get paid in CASH.  Twice per month, they are paid in cash.  Yesterday everyone was lining up with their bags for their pay.  This baffles me.  However, come to find out that few people here use the banks.  They are not federally funded/insured so there is no guarantee that your money will be there the next time you go in.  There's also a cash shortage.  Not enough bills are printed.  It's crazy.  It's reminicent of the US after the stock market crash....I'm learning things daily. 

Otherwise, I'm plotting a trip.  This is what I was pondering a couple of days ago.  I found out that I'm eligible for an R&R trip.  Company X will fly me home or where ever I choose to go.  I considered going home, but the flight is just so long and I'm afraid that if I go home I won't want to come back.  I also considered going to Vegas with the Huhn family.  But, sorry my friends, again the flight is so long and I have an opportunity to go somewhere super exotic.  While if I were home I would be going to Vegas, I just can't pass up the opportunity for something exciting.  These are the places I'm contemplating.   This would be in the April timeframe. 

1.  A trip into Europe where my brother could potentially meet up with me.  Perhaps Italy, Greece, Spain, etc. 
2.  The Maldives Islands
3.  Morocco
4.  Dubai
5.  Mylasia

It all depends on cost and how I can get there.  I need to figure out when and then figure out how.  I don't want a run, run, run, everyday vacation though.  I want to sit on the beach/by the pool, etc with a cocktail in my hand and a book in the other.  Also, looking out on beautiful sandy beaches and blue water.  And food, lots of glorious, yummy, exotic food.  (that won't give me food poisoning. :O )
