Hi, all, I'm going to take a vacation coming up next week. I will be traveling about 50 miles west to the Pacific Ocean in Lincoln City, Oregon. Here is where I'll be staying for two nights, so I won't be on the forums for about three or so days. I'm really excited about going, I don't even remember the last time I was at the beach. Check-in time is at 4pm (!) and check-out time is 11am, so I will be spending about 72 hours without the internet, seeing as how I don't have a smart phone. I was too young to remember staying at this particular hotel last time. It's just a thrill to me seeing the ocean and thinking about how wide it is and on the other side somewhere is Japan. I will also be going to the following places (if they're still around): There's this antique store in Lincoln City that I hope is still there. And also, there's this little store that sells Christmas stuff year-round, that I also hope is still there. I got an M&M garland tree decoration there last time. I'm hoping they will have Halloween stuff since it's coming soon, the Spirit Halloween store in Salem is going up. I collect jack-o-lantern-related items so I want a few. The most interesting items in my collection is the soap dispenser and the PEZ dispenser. My jack-o-lantern collection is on display year-round in my room on a shelf.
