 "I NEED VACATION TIME TO PREPARE FOR MY VACATION..."

          I am about to go on  a vacation across the country for a few weeks; the anticipation is mounting day by day for I haven't had any time off for a year and desperately need some. 

My work days are full of responsibilities both personal and professional and I start the day at 5AM.  I have been spending the last few days making lists of what needs to be taken care of while I'm gone.  What I realized is that it takes a "village" to cover my duties while I am away...everything from taking care of my elderly parent to plant care, mail duty, clothing inventory for travel, medication stock up, travel arrangements, car / hotel rental and arrangements etc. 

My vacation will start from the moment I step foot on that plane for I will probably fall asleep as soon as the plane takes off, as it is a 7am flight...

I have found that vacations  are not restful when visiting family and friends.  Some day I hope to take some time and go to a quiet Island where I know no one and just chill-ax.
