Build up to the proverbial tiki bar

My Out of office reply on my last day at work, set right after I sent out my farewell email -

"Hi, thanks for your email. I'm already out of the office, making a beeline for the tiki bar. Please contact dotdotdot."

Its been over a week since, and I havent made it to the tiki bar yet, but I will. Have been sifting through mounds of disorganized mail, renewing old friendships, and squealing with delight when Matthew proposed to Mary in the Christmas special of Downton Abbey. Making sure I've got my international license for that drive up and down California wine country and the coast, doing the visa check, and scouring for hotels in various cities.

When I make it to the proverbial tiki bar, sometime hopefully in the next week or so, I'll send a pigeon.
