    You call that a "Vacation"? Wow, I'm not sure that I've ever been so tired after a two week vacation before. In fact, I know not. In years past, I spent my vacation time aimlessly, without purpose, doing things like laying on a hot windy beach, skiing in blizzard conditions, looking at smelly...
