"Life happens while you're busy making plans" ~John Lennon
3) Christmas - any year. I love Christmas, but not because of all the presents... although they are a plus. I love it because I get to spend the day with the people that I care about and they are happy and having fun riping paper away from their newest "toys". Granted I am exhausted after the whole day is spent going from place to place but I always think it's worth it in the end.
Sometimes I long for the days when I didn’t have to wake up early, get dressed, take care of 2 dogs, get a 2 year old ready and to the sitters, just to go to work for the next 8 hours where I have to deal with difficult people.
Normally I love my life but it's often a job that never seems to end and you just feel the need to take a vacation. I sometimes would like to take a break from "real life" and jump in a time machine or a hot tub (Hot Tub Time Machine) and go to another place or time. I could jump in the Tardis with Dr Who (2005 Series) and be off to have an adventure like Rose or visit a time and place that I have already been to.
What could be a better vacation than going back in time and spending a week as your younger self (suggesting of course that you could pick where you end up) ? You already know whats going to happen, you could be in your favorite place with your favorite people or have an experience that you consider one of your favorites.
So IF I could go back in time (to my younger days) for a small vacation here are a few stops that I would like to make, in no particular order:
#1 |
1) Hanging out with my Besties in College - most are married and have their own lives and are happy, which I am thankful for. But sadly most of us have moved from the city we went to college in and are not geographically near each other, so we don't get to hang out and see each other often enough.

2) My Honeymoon in San Juan - a little over 5 years ago my hubby and I had our first vacation as a married couple. We spent a wonderful week in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The atomasphere, people and foods were all wonderful and we hope to one day make it back again. Hopefully next time I won't get sunburned.

I think these would all be wonderful "time machine vacations" but since I have yet to develop a time machine and the hot tub doesn't seem to work no matter how much I drink before I get in it, I guess we will just keep on moving forward and looking at the pictures instead.
