I scheduled my week at guitar camp!

Sounds like my dream vacation, I just haven't got enough confidence to go to a camp with all those musicians. Be sure to give a full report.

My thinking on wanting something closer is to avoid large travel expenses, that and for me a vacation only has to involve me not going to work for it to be a good vacation :).

There are more than a few of these scattered around the country (and several countries, as well)
