Days Off

We don't get many days off here at space camp. But all of a sudden we have 7 days off in a row. It's basically time off after training and before the kids come. And I am ready! All we've done so far is wake up, work for 10hrs, eat, sleep, repeat. We weren't given much planning time for this though.

Wednesday morning Beth, our boss, says that we have Friday off.

"Oh," she says "also Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are optional."

"Optional?" we all repeat.

"Yes, you don't have to work but you won't get paid."

"Duhhhh!!" we all think.

So the remainder of this week has been full of planning trips around Turkey and Greece. Darren, Connie, Tom and I are all going to go to Chios for a couple of days, and then maybe go to Efes(Ephesus). Darren and Connie opted to work on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so Tom and I are going to go South. We're not sure quite yet, probably Efes, Sirince, The Temple of Artemis, and places like that. There is only one slight glitch in or plan. We had planned to go to Chios for Friday and Saturday night and then go back to space camp for Sunday night and take day trips down south. We were telling Beth this and she all of a sudden said,
"You can't"

"What do you mean 'we can't'?"

"Space camp's closed of Sunday"

"What do you mean 'closed'"

"Locked. Nobody will be here. You cannot come here Sunday night."

"But this is our HOME. This is where we LIVE. How can you close our home?"

"Well......everybody said they were going to be gone." (We said that after 10min of consideration Wednesday morning)

Lots of stammering of "but....how?....where?.....why?....but.." followed, but it did not good. We are going to have to find someplace to stay the night on Sunday.

So this is our plan for our fabulous vacation time. We leave tomorrow (Friday). We'll let you all know how the trip went in a week.
