I took a vacation for the long holiday weekend, with no airports, no parking hassles, no exorbitant tourist prices. We stayed home. I just didn't work, and that made it a great vacation.
Yep. You read it here first. Helen Kennedy did not work. The "feel" was similar to the trip when Tony and I rented a house on the Big Island for a while, and my laptop was out for repairs. On that trip, I couldn't work, but the effect was the same. I felt a little bit disconnected, but I got over it.
This will sound terribly boring to my vast audience of readers (I think there are two...) We did some leisurely shopping. Finally found some furniture for our house, which we bought almost two years ago. We drove over to the Ferry Building to buy some excellent organic food for dinner, then we came home and had a fabulous dinner, just the two of us. One evening, we just popped into the bar at Massimo's and had cocktails and appetizers. Relaxed and informal. Movies On Demand at home. No pressure. No expectations.
I guess a vacation is a state of mind brought on by the deliberate act of "not working."
Incline Village in the spring / summer is really cool. Hope you have a blast with your niece. You need a nice out of towner - you're working hard!!
