Do you have any family (or friends for that matter) who live in New Jersey? If so, we have something in common. Although not all of my family members live in New Jersey, there are quite a few who call this place home. Because I do have multiple family members who live in New Jersey, I almost always go up there at some point during the holiday season. However, this year I stayed extremely busy at work during the holidays, and although I really wanted to go see them, there was simply no realistic way for me to successfully do that.

Fortunately, even though I didn’t get to see them during the holiday season, I am still going to get to see them now. Things have calmed down at work (at least for the time being), so I have booked a flight, hotel and rental car in New Jersey in just over three weeks. My trip is going to last for a total of five days, and now that I have had a chance to tell all of my family members that I am coming to visit them, they are all extremely excited to get the chance to spend some time with me.
