Winter Vacations...

My friend Fran is excited to have booked and confirmed her Mexico vacation. I am happy and excited for her. I used to envy and be jealous of people who took winter vacations. Now, I am more happy for the person than I am envious. I realized these people work just as hard as me, have saved and earned the money to go, and damnit they should go. So, Fran have a great time. I hope you get as brown as a berry. I want that swinsuit to fit you when the time comes. I hope other women at the resort envy your svelt body (lol) that every hot cabanna boy (I know they don't have them there, but it sounds so good) trips over themselves to serve you. You deserve a great holiday!

Have I ever been on a winter vacation to some exotic place? No. Will I ever? The hope is there and if things go right, you never know, maybe by this time next year I will have enough money saved to go away. It really is a wait and see kind of thing.

What I would really like to do is win a huge lottery and travel the world. Then when I am travelled out, build my own little Inn in some exotic land and have travellers visit me when I feel like catering to people. Although it is a far fetched dream, it is what has kept my boat afloat for the last year. It is little help, but it is a help. When times are tough I try to find one small thing to keep me going. I focus on that one thing and I make it through. It is not always easy, but it works if I stay focussed. And, saying that, I am determined to one day have at least one winter vacation.
