Yes, I do. On my last vacation I took a trip to charlisangels escorts vacations in the Caribbean where I got to know some beautiful European and Russian escorts. I am looking forward to another visit sometime this summer, because I really need a vacation.

that article summed up why I’m always nervous and hesitant to even take a DAY off. Last vacation I had (not including unemployment) was my honeymoon – 4 years ago.
I would love a vacation. But even though it’s been really long, I still don’t see it happening because of all those factors and the worry about them. Feels like we need a “special occasion” forcing us to go or something.

If anyone can use a vacation it would have to be me, i work 1-12 everyday and this summer I’m taking a Caribbean trip to the DR at an adult sex vacations resort for some RNR relaxation with hot European and Russian escorts at all inclusive packages. That will take a lot of stress off me.

@ Tom – I’d better crack on and write it then!

@ Chris – Isn’t that weird? Many people seem prepared to do things that they KNOW wont make them feel good and/or are bad for them.

@ Jennifer – C’mon you know me by now, I’m a plagiarist ;-)

@ Nicole – Your post was the spark and I realize that I have pushed the point to make a point and it’s not necessarily what you were meaning. I also agree that a vacation is a better option that a shopping spree, especially in a country where taking time off seems to be frowned on. I know, let’s all move to England, I hear they have lots of time off over there and the streets are paved with gold!

Couldn’t agree with you more…I was simply trying to motivate people to think about their compulsive shopping as a means to remove stress from their life by dropping the carrot of a vacation, or other stress relieving activity. Vacations can of course just be bandaids too, and you all know that I am NOT a fan of bandaids! LOL Let’s rip those band-aids off and take a look at what is REALLY going on and heal that. Great point my dear…and well taken!

Tim, this was exactly what I was saying in my comment on Dr. Nicole’s post. You just wrote a whole post about it, and a very good one I would add. Well thought out and well said.

I think it is good for families to take vacation for EXTRA bonding time, but if they NEED it to escape from the chaotic life they have created for themselves, they need a new life.

Thanks for this insightful post. We definitely take ourselves wherever we go. I actually know a number of people who regularly end up regretting taking vacations because of all the stress they experience in planning and packing, but they keep doing it anyway.

One thing I’d add is that many people, while working, seem to keep their minds focused on their upcoming vacation so they can take their attention off their job dissatisfaction, and postpone making serious career decisions. Not taking that much-”needed” vacation and fully experiencing our dissatisfaction at work might be one (albeit harsh) way to get some real perspective on where we are and what we want in our working lives.

I’m looking forward to your next post on language. This was a bit of a teaser for it, I imagine. Since I’m one of those folks who unwinds frequently I don’t usually find the need for vacations. The expectations that some vacations hold can make them more stressful than kicking back at home. Whoops that’s when I was married. No more :).

I enjoy catching myself using the language of obligation. When everything is really a choice, isn’t it?

@ Evelyn – Wow you need a vacation to keep sane! That’s tough ;-) Of course you could do what I did and just wave goodbye to your sanity.

If anybody wants to read more about me. Why you would I’m not really sure, but hey you may just be the curious type. You can check this out:

I take at least one vacation every year. I’ve been doing so ever since I started working. If I don’t go on one in more than 8 months, I will start to experience a weird kind of strain. I find myself gasping for air (of a different country…LOL).

I spend an average of US$5K per trip, with my two kids along. But I consider this amount very necessary to keep my sanity.
