Life’s Lessons

It’s been a while since we had a vacation. Our two-day trip to the island nearby is just a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city life so it can’t really be considered a vacation. We do have plans of going on a vacation but we still cannot decide when because we both can’t leave for a week or more from work. Oh well, that’s the downside of being in a rat race! How I wish Ace is not holding a position with an important workload that will hamper the department’s operation should he will be absent for a week or more. Maybe for now that’ll remain in our wishlist – to have a long vacation that we deserve for pushing ourselves too much in order to earn for a living.

Having said that, I am so envious to a friend who just came back from a week’s vacation. I am so happy that she and her husband did find time to take a break from their busy life. Now they’re back with renewed spirits! They hopped from one place to another for the first week of their trip and settled on one of the vacation rentals in California where they spent a week bumming around. How i wish we could also afford that grand vacation. Should we have the chance to go on a vacation, I would sure love to try one of the vacation rentals – for a change. If possible I want a place so conveniently nestled in a nice, tranquil environment and not in a hotel…I want a home away from home! That would be an expensive vacation so we need to work harder for it! For now, we will just be contented with quick beach getaways for that’s what we could easily afford. The grand vacation will happen in the future, keeping my fingers crossed!
