I want a vacation
I haven't had a vacation in 13 years. Even when I had my stroke I was back at work in 4 days. Well before I could speak a full sentence or walk a relatively normal three steps.
I haven't had a REAL vacation - 5 days off in a row (- 7 - if you include the weekend) in so long, I don't even know what I'd do. Where would I go?
The last "vacation" I had was 13 years ago. We took the kids to Disneyworld and I attended a convention and went to some seminars. We could write off the trip.
We went to Vegas - 5 or was it 6 - years ago - but, I never saw the outside of a classroom then, except when we took the kid's to MGM's theme park. After waiting in line for two hours - they closed the park - because they had no electricity to run the rides.
I hate Vegas. I gambled a whole quarter in a slot machiene I didn't understand. I waited in line to see the "Treasure Island Pirate Spectacular" at 11:00 at night - and they called it off because of high winds! Vegas sucked.
Come to think of it - Jerry and I took our last REAL vacation shortly after Katie was born - 20 years ago! We went to a cabin in the North Woods without a phone, fax, or computer! For 5 glorious days, we had peace and quiet! Of course we also had a 4 month old with us....not a whole lot of quiet or peace there.
I really need a week off - even if it's hard for this workaholic to admit.
Any ideas?
Where would you go to get away from it all?
