When I am traveling for business I find vacationers around me a bit annoying, a bit in the way, a bit clueless. They aren’t working, contributing, serious–not like me.
When I am traveling on vacation, listening to business conversations around me I think “gee, they sound so self-important, absorbed in their oh-so spectacularly irrelevant deals, busy impressing themselves and each other about things that don’t really matter.”
I am such a hypocrite.

As so often the case, right before leaving on a much-anticipated vacation I find myself wondering if I really need to get away, especially NOW.  Now, here at home, which feels so safe and beloved.  Why am I trading it for there, away, which feels so unknown?  Why am I leaving my bed, my desk, my doggies, my new kitchen?

BECAUSE!  Yup.  I’m outta here.
