Vacation Planning
Your vacation planning has largely consisted of your finding a dark corner of your home from time to time, crawling into it and praying for a merciful end to it all?
Life is hard most of the time and when you are exhausted it is even harder. At moments like those your thoughts are not of a quiet little vacation. Of packing a few bag, making reservations and hiring someone to take care of the plants while you are away.
Your thoughts are of diving out of the nearest window. Jumping onto the back of a pickup truck and hiding under the tarp until you hear the sound of planes taking off or border crossing guards asking for papers.
Am I talking about a vacation or an escape plan?
I will ask you a question. Is there a difference?
I did not plan this as one of those Blogs where every thing is all sunshine and rainbows. Where you are taking a vacation because you feel like smelling the roses in the south of France. My idea of a get away is just that. To get away from the problems. The questions. The phone calls. The responsibility.
And if going to France to smell roses will do that for you let’s try to get you there. If it is visiting Rome, taking a cruise, dancing on tables in Brazil, swimming with man eating sharks in the Carribean, watching the sun come up in Japan or picking fruit in Florida, maybe we can get you there.
“Did you did say picking fruit?”
Yes I did. Would you rather pick fruit for a dollar an hour in the middle of no where or hear yourself yelling stop that, don’t do that, put that down, where did you get that, is that smoke I smell, to the kids?
A vacation is for those who hear thank you once in a while for all the things that they do for the people who spent most of their time sleeping , eating and spending money they did not earn.
An escape vacation is what we will talk about from time to time.
Perhaps you need to get away for just a few days. Why not find a nice quiet inn.
