Yes, I need a vacation.
Bad. Mucho bad.
However, there seems to be some question as to where we might go.
And if we might go.
We haven't been anywhere, not even a little weekend trip together, in over a year. A whole year (plus 2 months!) since I've seen the ocean. (big sigh inserted here)
A trip to Myrtle Beach was discussed and I was getting excited (yes, old...errr...mature women DO get excited!) then the dates were changed. Ok ok...still going, no problem.
Then he got an email from his sister in law. They are going to Vegas in November. So now he wants to go there...too.
I can't do both. One or the other only. Can't afford the trip to the ocean (sun..surf...dolphins...cabana boys!) and a flight, food and fun in Vegas (cha ching!).
What to do...what to do....
The ocean with its sand and waves and warmth. Relaxing on the beach and drinking strawberry daquiries. Getting tan...exposing my flesh to the sun....(now its not THAT scary!!...well, then again...nevermind).
Las Vegas. Lights, noise, fun and laughter. Watching money go into machines over and over...but dreaming of the big win.
I asked him (rather, I emailed him) yesterday which he wanted to do. I haven't gotten an answer yet (arghhhhhhhhh).
Maybe he'll go to Vegas without me.
Maybe there will be no ocean trip.
Maybe I'll go stay at a Motel 6 and watch the Travel Channel for a weekend.

There will always be vacations waiting for you.
I am lucky to live just near our private beach on Bonny Island in the Gulf of Guinea. And we also have private golf course and a nature park. So, life can be a holiday for anyone here if you choose.
Great post. I think you should do the beach thing. You will get so much more for your buck. But Motel 6 does sound nice. ;)
