I have not had a real vacation in almost five years. For the last three years, vacation time has been spent in chemo wards, surgeries or moving. I've taken a few trips back to Nashville to visit family that was relaxing - bust aside from that - I haven't had a decent spate of R & R for years.
In 2004 I spent four very relaxing days in Cancun. When I got back, my friends and co-workers noted the change. I tried to book a similar vacation one year later but the cost for the exact same package nearly doubled in price so I skipped it. Then I got burglarized, got sick, then started a new job where I hit the ground running and taking time off was very difficult.
Well here we are at the end of the calendar year and I have use it or lose it vacation days to take. A few weeks ago, I booked a few days at an Inn in Mystic. I didn't even bother to check Orbitz for vacation deals..
Well I took another look today and found a great package to the same resort I visited nearly five years ago, only this time I'll be able to spend a few more days - and for $200 less.
...So I think I'll be canceling the Inn in Mystic.
