Well, I escaped another family trip. It was insane, as always. My siblings drove me up the wall. We took some wrong turns 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 some crazy memories.

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

My laptop is officially silenced/turned off/put away. Emails can chill until I get back. Social media can keep spinning. 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 soon.

This Blissful Escape Awaits Me Elsewhere

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 mountains covered in snow filled with music, 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.

Heads Up: May Spontaneously Discuss Travel Plans

I'm a total travel lover, and sometimes my thoughts just wanders to amazing destinations. Therefore, be warned: you funny travel sweatshirts may find me suddenly babbling about my upcoming trips. I apologize in advance if it happens during a important conversation, but I just get so passionate about travel!

One thing is for sure, it's guaranteed to be an experience you won't forget!
