I am currently searching for a home to rent for our next vacation. This process, to me, is part joyful and part frustrating. And I am feeling quite sarcastic today, so hang in there with me.
The joy:
We are going to have a week away from the hassles of everyday life!!!!!! I won't have to worry about the dog (who goes to my in-laws) or the dirty floors. I won't have to look in my craft room and cringe because of the disorganization. I won't have to deal with the better-than-you attitude of other people. Well, maybe not. I will get to go out to eat more than once a week. I will get to sit on my butt and read a book if I want. I will get to enjoy the presence of my three favorite males.
The frustration:
How on earth am I supposed to know where a good place to stay is? That is one that is not on a boardwalk with five thousand people all around. One that is close enough to a WalMart or the like so I do not have to pack a boatload of groceries just to save money. (Have you ever bought milk in a tourist town?? Can you say over $6 a gallon because they know they have you by the...) How are we to know if getting a house on an island is worth it-if we have to use the ferry every time we want to go sight seeing and the ferry takes 45 minutes wait on both ends?? Is that worth it? Is 1 hour away from a really cool attraction too far??
Moms that plan these things have all the stress while the dads just pay the bill. I am not sure who has the better deal.
where are ya going? i know of a great 3 bedroom condo in florida. . . and i can tell ya where to go!
ReplyDeleteLegoMaster wants to go to the UP of Michigan and we agree. We are looking by Sault St. Marie to see the locks or by one of the numerous coastal towns to see nothing but water.
