Next Vacation

My next vacation will be something completely new for me: A Nile River cruise in December/January. This actually should be an excellent opportunity for me, as it combines both the desire to travel when work is slow (Christmas time) with the desire to travel when the weather is nice (which, of course, is inverted in Egypt). It is an escorted tour, but since we will be on a ship for much of it (with a short land portion), I think I will still feel that I have the autonomy of an "on your own" vacation (i.e., if I want to sleep in, I won't have to worry about the bus leaving me behind, at least not for most of the trip).

So, while I know my next Christmas vacation, the unknown is my vacation after that. I am inclined at this moment to return to Germany, this time staying in one place for the duration so that I do not have to go through the hassles I did with the transfers this time, If, however, I am to do this, I am vowing that I will only do it in late Spring or Summer, and only if I do indeed take the idea of relearning German seriously. At least at this moment, I am inclined to stay in one place, preferably in a large city.
