People have all sorts of ways of relaxing when they go on vacation.
Some folks are content to pull up a chair by the pool and dive into their favorite book, while others prefer run around absolutely crazy so that they can see and do everything possible during their time on this magnificent vessel that will take us to far off, exotic lands. Some will waltz into the casino with a handful of bills this evening and take up residence there for the duration of our travels, while others will spending tonight flipping through brochures to determine the most lucrative excursions to partake in at our ports to come. Hell, I’m sure there’s a fair number of people just getting drunk right now who will consequently remain thoroughly inebriated until we get back next week…
…and you know what? That’s ok! Not for me, mind you, as I prefer to have control of my wits while we’re visiting said far off lands … at least for the majority of the time … but hey, to each their own. As long as it doesn’t disrupt the enjoyment of others, I’m not one to stand in anyone’s way of having a good time, mainly because I’d certainly hope that they don’t strive to disrupt my own.
So what is it that yours truly looks forward to the most over the next seven days of this relaxing, island-hopping vacation from which we’re getting ready to embark on as we speak? Well, simply put, I’m looking forward to doing nothing.
That’s right – absolutely nothing.
Yes, yes – it’s a tall order, I know! Daunting not only because it’s considerably difficult to know where to begin, but even more so to know when you’re done, but just between you and me, I think I’m just the guy for the task and now is the perfect time to find out. You see, the great thing about going on a cruise is that unless they also purchase tickets, all of life’s regular troubles and turbulences are left behind at the docks – everything from bad drivers to giant birds, crazy neighbor kids and even sleazy life insurance salesmen – it’s almost like running away and starting a new life … one where you’re waited on hand and foot and get to eat pizza whenever you want, but only for a week. Seriously, what better trouble-free, pizza-plenty scenario is a guy ever going to come across for mastering the subtle art of embracing complete and utter nothingness?!
As I’m sure you understand, this is really a once in a lifetime situation, so it’s of the utmost importance that I make the most of it. That means no schedules, no alarm clocks, no appointments, no responsibilities. Wow – I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling more relaxed just thinking about it!
Something tells me that this is going to be a great vacation.
A guy could get used to this...
