Given Up

I have given up the idea of a vacation. Quite frankly, I look at different destination possibilities and none of them appeal to me. The only places I really want to go are northern states – Maine, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, etc. Yes, I wouldn’t mind going to a beach too but I don’t know. My son says we always go to the same places which is true but if I wanted to go south the only place that even slightly interests me is Florida. I don’t WANT to go to Florida necessarily, but I would like to see my friend Holly. I fear her time is getting relatively short and would like to see her again before she dies. She has liver cancer and has been undergoing treatments that really bring her down.

Then I think I should take my son to Key Largo. He has never vacationed there so he has no idea all the fun things there are to do. However, he doesn’t like going in the water so snorkeling and all that good stuff would be out. Why go to a beach if he doesn’t want to go in?? I just don’t know. I think Siesta Key would be nice – the beach is great and there is plenty of night life on the island. He wasn’t all impressed with the nightlife though when he was down last time.

I’ve looked at the Bahamas, Jamaica, California, cruises, etc., and nothing really interests me. I can’t believe places like Jamaica aren’t tourist traps which will cost a bundle even though the plane trips are cheap. The hotels I looked at were over $100 per night plus “fees.”

Quite frankly, I’m tired of looking at different places – I don’t want a vacation this badly. It gives me a headache trying to come up with something I could afford that would be fun and we’d both enjoy.
