A "real" vacation? What's that?
May. 12th, 2012 03:58 amA couple of months ago, I asked myself this question: "What was the last time you had a real vacation?"
What is a real vacation? Once where I don't have to worry about what's on my to-do list, my budget, keeping up on email, watching TV, or any other "distractions" of home. The times I was on unemployment, or staycations (where I stayed home and tried to catch up on home stuff), or trips to my parents, relatives, and friends in Buffalo -- they don't count as vacations.
I think the last one was 2007, when I went to Starwood.
The past few years haven't been great for me, financially. As a result, my travel budget has been zero.
( Before then.... )
