Today Danae and Gabe left to go back to Ireland and the house feels empty. It is now time to go back to life, back to reality, however I learned something about our apartment that I had never realized since going on vacation takes a lot of work to plan, and it costs a lot of money to pay for everything but I think is still worth it. I was looking at all the fun Cristi, Brooks and the kids had in Europe over the Holidays so Absolutely! But why is it we haven’t considered bringing our vacation to us? Or better said – why don’t we ever consider taking a vacation right from our own home? Just think about it.
You could take a vacation without ever having to pack a bag or without spending money on flights and hotels. You could use some time-off work to take a vacation right from the comfort of your own home. No hotel is better than our beautiful bedroom. You’d get to sleep in your own bed and never need to pack a suitcase.
You could wake up each morning having given yourself permission to be on vacation, not answer the phone or the emails, and do fun activities right at home or by going to visit places close to home. Often times we aren’t even aware of all the cool places that exist within an hour’s drive of our own homes because we’re always so eager to get out of town, but guaranteed there are plenty of fun new places to visit and explore right near our own backyards.
Vacation isn’t about where we go – it’s about the permission we give ourselves to escape the normal day-to-day routine and enjoy our time. Our apartment has an indoor pool and an outdoor pool a Jacuzzi and sauna and a well- equipped exercise room.
So maybe it’s time we start thinking about bringing the vacation to our home next time we need a break.
Con amor,
Vero
