Well, I made it through another family trip. It was insane, as always. My siblings were on my nerves. We got lost a couple of times, and then there was that memorable incident at the restaurant.

I'm drained, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. We have stories to tell.

Vacation Mode: Activated (Don't Talk to Me)

My device is officially silenced/turned off/put away. Emails can hold on until I get back. Social media will just have to do without me. If you need me, leave a message on my answering machine/in a bottle/with the voicemail fairies. Otherwise, consider this your official notification/warning/reminder: I'm out of office/gone fishin'/living my best life and will be back whenever I feel like it.

My Happy Place is Anywhere But Here

Sometimes, the best/ideal/perfect escape isn't a place/location/spot at all. It's a state of mind/feeling/perception. My happy place/moment/time is anywhere but here, a whimsical/fantastical/imaginary realm where stress/tension/worry melts away/into oblivion/like ice cream on a hot day. I picture a tropical beach filled with the scent of fresh-baked cookies, where time stands still. It's not about reality/escaping from life/finding perfection, it's about creating a sanctuary/building an oasis/dreaming big and letting that vision/imagination/fantasy fuel my spirit/soul/inner self.

Warning: Might Start Gushing About Trips

I'm a total travel addict, and sometimes my mind just wanders to amazing destinations. Therefore, be warned: you could find me suddenly babbling about my dream trips. I apologize in advance if it happens during a serious conversation, but I just get so excited about travel!
