Am I the Only One Who Doesn't Like to Drink on Vacation?

Maybe it's because I seriously dislike the low energy a hangover gives me, but I can't remember the last time I really wanted to get plastered on vacation. I definitely had a few glasses of wine in Santa Cruz last time I was there, but it was Pinot Noir (no hangover for me) and it was the first and last time I did it while there. I didn't realize the glasses were so huge! Oops. A few years back when B and I were in Hawaii, a friend wanted to "drunk bond" over St. Patty's Day, which I totally understood and gave effort, but totally ended up under drinking, if there is such a thing. Still, I was up at 9am snorkeling the next day! I guess I'd rather save my energy for activities than use it on a night out. Fortunately, when I DO go out and DO want to drink, I have my trusty vodka and soda water with lime (thanks, Alli), and Pinot Noir (thanks random wine connoisseur who told me I was allergic to tannins) that give me minimal to no hang over. That vodka soda water carried me over for a fantastic Halloween celebration of dancing all night long last year. Wonder how my back would hold up for dancing now, as it's not completely healed?

  2. Cayman - Yes! I totally have my things I stick to as well. I haven't nailed them down for vacation, but at home I'll do a Chipotle margarita or the two I mentioned above. Have FUN on your road trip!!!
