I've just found out I've got a two week break in the end of April/beginning of May. All I can think of is how can I get a ticket to San Francisco?

But.

There's always a but.

Even if I could, in the middle of that chunk is the croquet match between St. John's and the Naval Academy in Annapolis. I am certain that even if I scraped together enough to cover a ticket to the states, I would not be able to afford cross-country domestic travel while I was there. And then there's the matter of having enough money to do minorly important things like, say eat while I am over there. And then of course the whole bit about getting a ticket hom n June. Will I have enough saved? Oh dear. But Two weeks! Two weeks in the End of April! I could leave the seventeenth and not return until the fifth of May! Oh, if only.
