i’ve taken trips, but i haven’t really taken a vacation if that makes sense. to me, a vacation is going somewhere you’ve never been and being a tourist. all the trips i’ve taken within the past two years are to places i’ve already been to. atl, 919, minnesota, etc. don’t get me wrong, they’re all good trips, but i’m overdue for a vacation. tonight, i began planning a vacation i’m hoping to take in january. it’s overwhelming at first, but after a while, i catch my footing and start getting to know the area, which makes me feel more confident that something won’t go wrong during the trip. it’s nice to have some sort of comfort in an unfamiliar area, and if hours of research are the price, it’s worth every minute.
i’m excited because during the cold of the northeast, at least for a few days i’ll be somewhere warm with not a worry in the world.
