What signs do you see in yourself when you need a vacation?
I don’t know how much is the increasing darkness or the legitimate need to unplug and focus on rest and relaxation, but I’ve definitely seen the signs in myself.
Sign #1) Small frustrations are out of scale.
Today I got a text from a friend. “You’re tail light in the car is burned out.” It’s a small, cheap fix, but I thought I might cry.
>Sign #2) None of my day-to-day life holds my interests. Not my job. My volunteer work. Not Household chores. Not even my fun weekly rituals with friends.
Sign #3) I go to favorite travel blogs over and over. Right now, here’s what I’m looking at:
I leave on New Years Day for a long jag of solo travel. France and Italy are on the agenda, a time for lots of fun and photography. There will be time to visit some old friends. The challenge? Enjoying it while on a budget.
Do you have any must-see recommendations for Italy and France?
What places populate your bucket-list?
I love hearing from you.
Annecy in France, and Cinque Terre in Italy! I loved both of those places.
Thank you, Susan! I’m definitely looking for smaller towns, and both of those sound just right.
