Vacation Needed


This last week, I've been really craving some time away from home, and work, and family.

I haven't been on a real vacation in years.  When I say real vacation, I mean out of state or country to someplace new I've never been too before for more than an extended weekend.

The last 3 day weekend I had away from home, with friends, was July 2011...and it rained 1/2 the time, and was only 1.5 hours away from home.

I really just want to decompress for a few days, and I don't mean sitting at home watching Nteflix and throwing back an occassional beer here and there.

No, I want to sit out on a balcony and watch the sun set.  I want to experience a nice meal at a fancy restaraunt.  I want to sleep in a cozy bed without having to get up at 6am to feed the dog.  And probably most importantly....I want to sit in a jacuzzi, close my eyes, and feel the warm water melt away the tension that has plagued me for so many months.

I saw this picture and feel this may be the place to go for a few days.  If not now, then when?  That's the big issue.  When?  I have to stop worrying about what other people think of me, under their watchful eyes for me to make a misstep or a wrong move and just live MY life.  F 'em.

You should do it... It just might come down to timing.

((My only thought is to be careful not to give your wife any fuel in the divorce proceedings... "He just took a $x,000 vacation alone - Why can't he pay $x,000 more per month in support??"))
