116: Time Off—Vacation
I haven’t had a vacation in a while. I think I’ll take off soon. I’m not sure where I’ll go or what I’ll do. But I can learn a tourism place where I can go for a long lox, breathe fresh air and take some nice pictures.
When I was a kid, I really look forward to vacations. Some of vacations were the best. It was care free time. As I became older, and I have to pay for my vacations. Planning became important. Time and money are always the big issues. After having a family of my own, vacations are more complicated. If I go, my boss to said to when. My wife to said to where, and my kids to said how. A vacation is supposed to be a time when you get away from work and recharge. It’s a time to see something new. It’s a time to extend your horizons, especially if you travel. But it’s easy for the opposite to happen. You can come back from a vacation feeling really tired. You can finish a vacation thinking “I can’t wait to get back to work.” And rather than extend your horizons, you might merely dipping your bad. Vacations aren’t cheap.
It’s been a while since to have a vacation. I might take one soon.
Talk about it:
When was the last time you had a vacation?
Do you look forward to your next vacation?
How long is your ideal vacation?
Do you prefer vacation in the country, or an urban tour vacation?
Do you mind travelling with a group of people on a package tour?
Would you rather design your own vacation?
Do you find it’s often more tired after vacation than you thought it will be?
Do you prefer an active vacation of touring, or just tuning out in a beach, doing nothing?
Would you rather travel frequently and cheaply, or save up for a rare and expensive trip? |
