Oh, and it&#8217;s the rainy season.  It&#8217;ll be great.&#8221;  Among other things, I struggled with the math &#8211; I knew Darienne was pregnant, but I couldn&#8217;t remember the due date. . . . would she really go to Costa Rica while 9 months pregnant?<\/p>\n<p>I was still working at Symantec and a vacation sounded really appealing, but I wasn&#8217;t ready to commit.  It was a good thing because I moved to Tabblo and it wouldn&#8217;t have been easy to take a week of vacation in my second month on the job.  Now they&#8217;re back and I&#8217;m mildly jealous.  It looks like it was great fun.
