Vacation Time

Those that can will already have packed their bags and be ready to take off for someplace else — anywhere else — as soon as they can get away. Holy Week — or Easter Week — is on the horizon. Schools close from this weekend until April 9. Government and banks only get next Thursday and Friday off, but anyone with clout will not be around even before then. Finding a hotel room by the beach may be nearly impossible, but the big cities should be more enjoyable than ever.
