See, to me that’s not vacation. That’s a trip. A trip with a purpose. That also happens to consume my vacation time.
I get that and I do those things too sometimes.
It sounds like semantics but I don’t feel that it is.
All of that doing stuff and going places takes a lot of work to plan and then execute, with schedules and deadlines (don’t miss the boat!).
Absolutely nothing wrong with that stuff, but it’s not vacation to me. It’s an intended experience.
I’m 2 days in to vacation. I’m at home. I’m loving it.
I am doing a few things around the house, but mostly stuff that I want to do and at my own pace….and just enough to keep my wife thinking I’m doing stuff.
We might do a day trip here and there, but nothing booked. The weather is going to suck for the next 4 or 5 days anyway. So, I’m glad I didn’t plan anything because I’m not stressing the weather.
