What's a vacation? I never realised how much others took vacations till the last few years. When I was married, we sometimes went on his idea of "vacations" - drive non-stop to visit his family where I did all the cooking & cleaning if I wanted to eat.
The only time I ever called something a vacation was when I was 7 & we moved across Canada. I was talking with my Mom the other day about that trip. It was a nightmare for her but as a little kid, I didn't know how horrible it was for her. I just remember camping outside, sleeping by our car, bathing in streams, & eating bran flakes in the morning before hitting the road again. For a kid, it was lots of fun.
I don't mean to sound like I'm dismissing your post - please, I'm not. I'd rather be feeling good & never have a vacation than all the money & time to take a holiday but not be able to appreciate it. But ust once, I wish I could go somewhere for a real vacation with a good friend.
